He was quoted he wanted the movie to be a "a great B horror movie".

QUOTE(XTC @ Jun 16 2008, 03:02 AM)  I heard it sucked. It actually did suck, I had to leave early from the movie because it was so bad, there were more laughs from the audience than screams. |

If you didn't understand the message behind the movie, then of course it would have sucked. Very good movie, although a bit short.

I agree, but it was hard to really get the movie when there were people talking throughout the movie most of the time. I'll just have to buy the dvd when it comes out. |

Yeah, I went to see the movie while drunk friday night with my friends. The movie did have some funny moments though.

Also, it was dumb. I don't need M. Night Shyamalan to tell me about the environment. Oh and Mark Wahlberg's acting was kinda off. |

None of you are making me want to see this any less. M. Night is a pretty smart guy, he can make a genius movie if he wants to and for this HE DIDN'T WANT TO. Plus, didn't we all know the "twist" long before this shit came out? I know I did. It makes me LOL if some of you went into this movie expecting some scary alien invasion or something.

Ok, so I just saw this.
Why was the acting SO BAD? Seriously, it was dreadful! Worst I've seen in a long time. Also, why didn't it make ANY sense? Half the time I kept thinking Mark Wahlberg had been hit by the virus, simply because he stood their muttering nonsense about hypotheses. Also, the basic premise confused me. I understand that the toxin turns off your instinct for self-preservation. Fine. But why does that make you ACTIVELY want to kill yourself right then and there? That makes NO SENSE. |

I wouldn't say I hated it..but it's not one of my favorites, it's one of those movies which drove me insane because it was just so..predicatble, like August Rush. One of my friends got so freaked out, she said she thought it was even scarier than Saw. Wtf.

^ In all fairness, Saw isn't scary, so that's not really saying much.
