I always enjoy Mark Wahlberg movies, & this is by M. Night Shyamalan, he did some great movies.

It's going to be rated R in the US, which is a first for a Shyamalan movie.

I am not sure if Oman or any other nation follows that rating system.

Really? I thought that was the best one after The 6th Sense. They are all good. He's got that extra film making touch.

Spot on. All good except the Village. And what about that one about the Water Woman or whatever it was. I didn't see that one because I thought it was certain to suck.

I didn't see the Water Woman either...didn't think it would match up to Signs or the Sixth Sense. I also liked Unbreakable.

We loved those three too!

I'll have to watch your movie recommendations...we seem to have similar tastes.

His movies seem to have a moral venue to them...why I like this director. I just did not feel like The Village captured my heart...the other ones made me delve deeper into my psyche if that makes any sense. ;)

I had great expectations for the movie & it failed to reach these expectations. I found the acting & dialog kinda odd!
4/5 for the idea, story, music & some great scenes.

What's up with these movies?! I can't remember the last time I enjoyed a movie in the cinema! It was ridiculous! The only good part was the scene with the old woman. That was it.

Watched it last Wednesday and it was quite good. The idea is cool but it was bit slow and dull .

6/10

I am watching it with no expectations. I want to see it because this director's past movies were tame and interested to see why it got an R rating but please don't tell me.

Just came back from watching it, I really enjoyed it! Very freaky. I love his films though, they have so much atmosphere & suspense. It was great!

By the way, yes the Village sucked lol, but I enjoyed Lady in the Water.

Well, I'm definitely going to watch it...in about two years when all the other Netflix customers are bored with it! :p

dont say " it seems" or "let's see", Go for it!

i must say, it is one of the Best movies i have ever seen!
the story is very exciting and the events get into your nerves:
the bloody scenes from the beginning till the end deserve 10/10.
i dont know how to exactely review the movie but overall its a Must See,
especially if you like watching bloody scenes... thats all about it XD

Lets say you want to feel that you are trapped in this weird unexplained situation through the surrounding of scenes & music, not talking about the acting, because it was a turnoff a bit, so then you might like the movie.

For the some who are expecting something like M. Night Shyamalan's "The Sixth Sense", so then they will be disappointed, its more like his other movie "Signs".

I really loved it, I loved all of Shyamalan's work and this was no exception to that. It kept me on my toes from start to finish, and I just loved the overall mood and msg behind it. I'm not surprised that many here didn't like it, It's the type of movie that can only appeal to people who actually like their movies to be a bit more sophisticated.

9/10

Another excellent movie by Shyamalan! The pace of the movie kept increasing dramatically, lots of facts and theories mentioned that could make you think... It's one of these movies that has a strong message behind it and makes sense as well...

i think Mark Wahlberg did his part well, his relationships with his friend and wife were funny :p

"This film is so bad that I feel compelled to make a spoiler-laden list of its most laughably terrible parts rather than review it."

No, I don't think so. It just tells that crisis happened again after sometime.

The story - the message - the music are all great

The movie was so weird - could have been much better

I'm just glad I didn't pay the inflated movie ticket price to go see it. Better seen at home.

IT is a home movie - I am also glad that I didn't watch it when it was released in the cinema !

But the message is really interesting and kinda of so important !
