i think the thing i had going for me when watching this movie is how many people said the movie was terrible. so i went in with a slightly pessimistic outlook for the movie, and was more than surprised. this is NOT like any of m. nights other movies. this is not the scare you, or shock you flicks he has done before. this is about making you think, and making you see whats around you. i pretty much had figured out the semi twist in the movie pretty early. all the signs are there, just look for them, and listen. it was very well written, and on par as far as grabbing films as he has done before.
i do understand however why people did not enjoy this movie. the problem is with the advertising. they advertise the heck outta this movie as something to scare you, and make your heart stop. and it just doesn't do that. don't blame the film, blame the marketers on that one.
