Ratings and reviews

If you're familiar enough with M. Night's career and have stuck with him, this is a pretty fun romp. Not his best, but also definitely not his worst. Honestly to others not familiar with him I can only suggest to not take it too seriously and just enjoy the weird little rides this guy will take you on.

Firstly...I am a fan of M. Night Shyamalan. After watching this I had one thought at the end...What was the point of that? Acting was good, cinematography was good, music/sound was good but ya...was left feeling a little wanting by the end as to why what I just watched was worth watching.

Very good movie! Love the twist at the end although I did figure it out!
