I liked it!

Rating: 8/10 (24 January 2005)

I know that this movie has a lot of bad reviews because many people did not like the ending. But I did. Though I kind of figured out some of it the first time a creature makes its appearance, I had no problem with it.
The acting is first-rate! The movie seems to flow very well. It never seemed to get boring. There is some nice comic relief such as when a group of youths play "chicken" against the creatures by going into the woods and seeing how long they can try to attract the creatures before chickening out.
I recently read Running Out of Time by Margaret Peterson Haddix and thought that the director might have been influenced by that book!
