Another stinker from M. Night Shyamalan! This is his worst movie yet!!

Rating: 1/10 (21 February 2006)

Anyone who has seen a real thriller will be ten steps ahead of this film the whole time. Tthis film fails on every level that I don't even know where to begin criticising it. For one, it was marketed as a horror movie but instead plays like some lame as hell drama with the occasional horror element. Anyone familiar with Shyamalan's body of work will realise that he loves his twist endings, so they will see the twist ending (Two twists in fact) a mile off! Joaquin Phoenix delivers his worst performance to date, and despite the fact that there are some a grade actors in this film, they do little but stand around and spout poetry throughout. Sub plots concerning romance make no sense whatsoever and other sub plots are introduced just for the sake of it. This film is the worst movie by M. Night Shyamalan to date! You would have thought that after delivering a stinker like "signs" the only place to go was up, as you could not possibly make a film worse than that, but he has proved us all wrong! This film reeks!
