what i think bout the movie ***SPOILERS***

Rating: Null/10 (2 August 2004)

i thought that this movie was a great movie. i seriously did. it was going to be my first scary movie in theaters, but it didn't wind up to be as scary as the advertisements cause you to think. sure, there was a couple things that make you jump out of your seat, but nothing that would cause nightmares. i thought that this was his master piece, better than sixth sense, and better than signs (they showed the alien WAY to much). Unbreakable was a good movie too like all the symbols that were in it were great....but i think that this movie reigns supreme. i loved m. night's cameo in the end...how they didn't show him DIRECTLY ...but his reflection in the glass on the medicine cabinet. what was his cameo in sixth sense? i can't remember......well i remember the ones from signs and unbreakable. did he cameo in his other movie? i think it was called wide awake? i loved how this movie had a twist ending and wasn't SOULY based on scariness. the ending about it actually being a modern town...secluded from the real world was amazing and also revealed to me in another post grrrrrrrr! it didn't say spoilers! i am angry. though i did have one thing against the film. m. night tends to show the creatures or monsters a lot in his movies. like i think signs could have done without seeing the alien's face. i thought that scene would have even been great if it was just the reflection in the t.v. i think this movie could have been even scarier if we didn't see the whole creature like in the shed. if we just saw a claw or maybe just it out of focus i thought it would have been greater (even though the creatures were fake). the part when adrien's character, noah, stabs lucius (spelling?) was a shocking scene and made everyone in the audience gasp. then when you think he's bending down because he is sorry for what he has done...HE STABS HIM AGAIN! that for me was a powerful scene. i think it was masterful in movie making. also the part when Ivy is holding her hand out for lucius was powerful, and the slow motion made a powerful effect.i hope that m. night makes more movies like this as i am an n. night shyamalan fan...and i gave this movie a 10.
Ivy, do your very best not to scream...
