better than i expected

Rating: 7/10 (4 February 2005)

I expected to be disappointed mainly because our local film reviewers whose opinions are usually valid were not so positive about this film but I was happily surprised.
I still think 6th Sense was Night's best but this is better than the others he's made since. There were a few twists which were unexpected and the acting was faultless.
It's not your usual over-the-top type of horror movie which I don't like anyway but it would be a disappointment if you had expectations.
Best to go open-minded and be pleasantly surprised. 7/10
(I count 10 lines but this isn't enough according to these stupid regulations! Who makes them?)
I watched this film on a DVD and the benefit of this is the extra material one gets to see, such as the creation of the sets and hearing the actors' input about their roles. So watch it on DVD if you like watching the extras.
