I'm sorry but to me there was absolutely nothing scary about the movie, just the same old shit happening for an hour and a half, like the half hour of the movie was the only good part.

If you like to watch stupid people doing stupid things that aren't funny, by all means, go see a stoner movie. If you like a good story, then maybe see The Village. 
I enjoyed the movie, even though I knew the "plot twist". When it was finished, I heard most of the people in the theatre saying it sucked, and was like
Whatever, idiots...just go watch I, Robot.I don't know what they were expecting when they went in to see it. :dunno: It's obviously not gonna be a horror or action movie.
I think Shyamalan is always good at created a spooky atmosphere in his movies. Also good dialogue, a decent story, and good acting are always a plus.

Saw it today. Without giving away anything, I can tell you that I was able to call just about every "surprise" in the movie.
A decent suspense film but not up to the usual qualify of M.S.

yeah I didn't know any of the twists but it wasn't too hard to figure out.
about 15mins into it I was like :squint:
