If I could minus the stars I would.... a serious waste of money.

The only good thing about this movie was the end. I should have listened to the reviews I read before I went. So, I say I deserved the torture due to ignorance, but you don't have to. I just saved you 2 hours and ten bucks. I would rather have watched paint dry...Honestly. One star is gracious, too bad they dont have integers.

DO NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE! I'm an M. Night fan and this is his worst film to date. Great concept and potential that falls very fast due to horrible acting, casting, script, and overall character development. This was my last M. Night film.

Once again M. Night writes, produces and directs a sleeper. This was a horrible statement on the environment. The acting was terrible, the camera work was weak and the writting was too expositional. I hate films that have to have a character explain the plot, it really doesn't give the audience a chance to comprehend the plot. Do not waste your money, rent it. I think Night should simply direct, leave the writting to the pros.

I found this movie deeply disturbing. Shame on the Director and the Producers for trying to make money from such an emotional subject. I would not suggest anyone to go and see this terrible movie.

interesting concept, and starts promisingly enough .. but undeveloped script is a big downfall. bring a pillow and a blanket, a suspenseful movie without suspense is like a comedy without jokes. all of which is unfortunate, considering this is being sold as a shyamalan work.

There should have made it "The Not Happening", that's just 2 hours of people not really doing anything. I would have gladly paid $10 and spent my time watching that over this piece of garbage.

1 star was too generous a rating for this piece of trash. I had high hopes that this would be a comeback for M. Night, but it was the worst thing I've seen in a long time. Everything about it was very amatuer, certainly not what you'd expect from one of Hollywood's top directors.

Most of these people who are writing all these comments,I suggest they take a proper reading and writing coarse, because their grammer is the most attrocious. They all sound at par with 1st graders or less, not to mention their taste in movies. Myself I was totally creeped out by this flic, and if that's the case that means I really liked it. I place it on nearly the same level as Blair Witch. I highly recommend this movie to All the others can go watch Disney. Great work M. Knight, looking forward to your next project. :)
