A Horrible film

Rating: 1/10 (31 July 2004)

This is one of the worst films we've seen a long time. It's hard to make a dull horror film, but that's what M. Night did. It's soooo slow and not a bit scary. The plot twist at the end is stupid. The actors looked embarrassed to be in such a mess. All the camera tricks were contrived, too. The script is awful. Read Roger Ebert's review; he says it all. Some of the critics liked it because of supposedly hidden messages, but that's not enough to save this turkey. When the audience laughs during the serious parts, you know you're in trouble. I'd like to see the director do a film without a twist. Just tell a good story. Don't keep trying to make The Sixth Sense over and over. I hope this doesn't end his career. He's to blame for the horrid script. Couldn't he tell that it was awful? Save your money. Better yet, go see The Manchurian Candidate.
