This was on general release on Friday. Who's seen it? I went on opening night with my boyfriend, and I'm not sure what to think.
Overall, I wasn't too happy considering the quality of M. Night Shyamalan's work in the past. However, it does have some truly horrifying moments in my opinion. Including Mark Wahlberg's delivery of the line "What!? No!"
I'd give it 5/10. It successfully frightened me, and the concept was good (the effects more than the cause), but I didn't think the film was really all that great.
The ending was a complete cop-out in my opinion... how it just ended with no explanation... and then it tried to make up for it with the whole recurrance thing. I wasn't pleased.
The old woman was marvellously freaky, though, and I thought it was reall well-made in terms of keeping tension high and getting you into the confused, panicky state of mind of the characters. This is Shyamalan's strong point... it seems he's lost his touch for killer endings, though.
