Ya I saw it, it was a ! It just turned out to be more of a love story than a thriller. Had potential to be real scary but that was killed when you found out the truth about the "unspoken ones". Just my opinion.

Wow what a movie.... best i have seen in a long time, has a very good story to it (which 95% thriller movies now lack) IMO. Even gave me and my friends a few good laughs, and had scenes that made everyone there jump (except me, lol ). Just because it doesnt have shooting, fighting, blood/gore, and explosions most people wont like it, in fact they will hate it (dont get me wrong there is nothing bad about that stuff though lol ).

I have no plans to see it in the theatre or rent it when it comes out on dvd. I saw "Signs" when it came out, and with all the hype I thought it would be a first rate move. WRONG. It was the 2nd worst movie I've ever seen (Tripple X gets that honour). I have no faith in the director.

You will have to watch the movie! It was a good movie. Way better than signs. Has a few good twists! I would give it a 8/10! Check it out.......

I saw it on saturday night....I didn't like it at all. It was really long (or felt like it), the story went extremely slow. I could describe the movie in about a paragraph its that simplistic. I didn't like how through the entire movie I was sitting there like, what the heck is goin on? Where are they going with this? I was just confused the whole time.....almost like I got it but I didn't get it at the same time. Most of the movie a scene would happen and I'd just sit there like "um...ok?"....I wouldn't watch it again, I was bored watching it. Only a few scenes I was actually interested in it...they had a couple scenes that were decent, but not many ha.

It might be just that I'm not into those kind of movies....I duno...

yea, its a different kinda movie. But thats what we have come to expect from him, with signs, 6th sense and all. The trailer hyped it up to be a action/horror movie, which is where they went wrong. I thought it was a great movie, but a hair slow. Sixth sence was slow in the middle as well. I figured the whole movie out about half way, girlfriend didnt believe after i told her till the very end. For matinee price it also killed a million degree nasty humid early afternoon this past saterday. To hot to do anything out in the garage anyhow.

Everyone that I know who saw it, said it was a waste of time and money, they all said it was one of the worst ever...I think I'll wait until it's on DVD.

All around a first rate film. When was the last time a film had a serious dialogue? Almost every word was important to achieve the overall effect. Good acting - love unknowns in good roles. Excellent direction, great plot twists making it a believable story. This is a serious film, not a hokey, scary, summer flick. Two thumbs up!
