Weird ending

Rating: 5/10 (14 March 2006)

I once had this movie on my Top 30. I don't know why, but I'm sure glad I took it off.
I never really appreciated the scene where Noah stabs Lucius. The movie is rated "PG-13" for scary images and a scene of violence." I knew immediately that that was the scene for which the movie was rated PG-13. Plus some scary images.
The performance of Bryce Howard  daughter of Ron Howard  as Ivy Walker was really good. It's amazing that she played the part of a blind girl, and Bryce isn't blind herself.
What really bugs me is the ending. It's so . . . . . dull. Ivy returns with the medicine to cure Lucius, and it just ends there.
After his horrific crime in stabbing Lucius, Noah is taken to the "Quiet Room." There, he goes insane, and steals a costume of "Those We Don't Speak Of.", who turn out to be non-existent.
This is not a movie for young kids. It's definitely not M. Night Shymalan's best.
My score: 6/10.
