Depressing imperfect movie

Rating: 1/10 (30 July 2004)

Although the movie tries to give us a feeling of fear, similar to that of the Sixth Sense - it just tries too hard. Everyone is completely down in this movie and the pace is glacial. It's never really explained why these people keep living where they live. This is colonial American, there's about 1 000 000 other places they could go.
I don't mind going to see a good scary movie, but this one did not cut it. It was a very nice looking film, but a bit empty in too many places to become a classic.
Two ** out of *****
I'd go see the Manchurian Candidate instead - at least the spookiness in that movie is all to real.
