Shyamalan's best work yet.

Rating: 8/10 (2 November 2004)

I didn't like any of M. Night Shyamalan's previous movies - those hints of "scary" things scattered around all his previous movies or the blurry images of monsters just weren't scary and usually the end was either boring or just too predictable. But not in this one.
At until about half way through I was about to give up, since it felt like watching a Signs re-run (effects wise) but I'm happy I decided to keep watching because it turned out to be quite the opposite.
The plot was good and the acting was good as well. The film had a bit of a cheaply-made feeling to it, but if you don't let that bother and you like a thriller with a common-sense plot, you'll like this movie.
