Huh?

Rating: 3/10 (2 August 2004)

Sorry - I just didn't "get" this movie. I was extremely disappointed and amazed to find out that it won the box office in its premier weekend - I guess everyone else was taken in by the same trailers I was which made the film appear much scarier than it turned out to be. The premise just seemed too unbelievable to make the movie enjoyable. Also, there were things that just were never explained but I won't go into detail so as not to be a spoiler. I loved The Sixth Sense and I even liked Signs but I definitely won't automatically assume other works by M. Night Shyamalan are as good as the previous. I did like the performance by Joaquin Phoenix and Bryce Dallas Howard which is the only reason I gave this film a rating higher than 1.
