A complete waste of time

Rating: 1/10 (4 October 2003)

I've frequently avoided seeing hyped films until they, well, sort of cool off a bit. I don't like being disappointed. Don't watch this film. OK, watch it, but don't rent it. And if you have seen The Sixth Sense, it doesn't take more than five minutes to realize the concept. And that, that is very disappointing indeed. It may not be very long, but it certainly feels like it. But I admit that Nicole Kidman's constant terror of every single object in the house, whether it's door-knobs, skillets or furniture, will make your skin crawl. Not out of terror, but because you desperately want the film to end so you can do more useful things, like washing windows or getting very, very drunk.
