Not what it has been hyped as

Rating: 5/10 (31 July 2004)

It took me 24 hours to figure out what it was that I disliked about this movie. The acting is fine, the plot is interesting, but very predictable especially if you are a M. Night fan. Then it hit me after I saw a commercial for it today. This movie has been touted as a horror movie and it is not. It starts out with that premise, but quickly fades as the movie progresses. I was disappointed in that fact. I guess that I'm still looking for the next edge of your seat thriller that makes me want to go back and see it time and again. This is not this movie. Too bad. I had such high hopes for this one and I was let down. I will say that we shall see Bryce Howard again in the future.
