Great acting and storyline, disappointing ending.

Rating: Null/10 (30 July 2004)

I am truly a huge movie buff and am pretty much open when it comes to all movie categories. "As long as the story and acting are good and interesting"... is my personal motto. This movie was promoted as a suspense/horror film, and what we got was a suspense/love story, that was unfortunately more predictable than M Night's previous 3 movies. For this, i give this movie a 8 out of a possible 10. The previews and commercials deception was probably necessary to draw in a larger audience, but made the ending much more disappointing. The reason i gave it an 8 was because the acting for the most part was 'superb' for lack of a better word. There was indeed plenty of suspense throughout most of the film, and the sound effects and music added greatly to the nail biting effect. The story was also great in my opinion (at least down to the last 5 or so minutes of the film). The performance given by the leading lady was gripping, and i hope to see more of her in the future. Not to mention she is way cute. I hope M Night's next movie has a better ending, though he should keep his style in tact. Email me with your opinion of my opinion if you will. Thanks.
