I saw it too, all I can say is it is the typical shocker-movie with some very select moments that are ok. For the rest....well the story was complete crap and the overall impression wasn't good either.

Watched it last night. Definite must see. Freaky movie is about the best I can describe it. You walk away shaking your head. It does have some slow parts, but the freaky parts catch and pass pretty quick. I kept waiting for the kid to say, "I see dead people." ;)

Rent it, buy it. You won't be disappointed. Not for kids.

I didnt think it was freaky or scary, but thought it was pretty good. As i work at a video store, that movie was one of the better ones that have come out in the last few months or so. Well, besides the chick flick of Sweet Home Alabama. Now that one was a very good movie :)

Heh....Each to their own. ;) I happen to like my crack pipe! :D

Horror/Scary Movies are probably the worst movies for critiquing. It's usually a hate it or love it thing and this one I liked. Most others I do not. They usually suck bigtime. Silence of the Lambs is my ALL TIME fave. And Hannibal is one of the all time worst horror movies ever.

Anyway, that's OT.

I had a heck of a time watching this movie...dunno....mabye it was too disturbing for me..

I hate movies where kids are abused...

I'd say it was very well done though...The 5.1 track is killer...

I want to see this flick.

I really like horror films....always have.

As I have gotten older, I tend to walk away from a movie either satisfied or saying to myself that I could have done better. Signs was one of those movies...good solid movie but I wanted the ending to be so much more than what it was...it just left me hanging.

Cool! You'll notice that on The Ring I did not give it three-thumbs up. It does have some slow parts but I will give it two and a half thumbs up.

Notice the opinions vary quite a lot here (love it or hate it thing). You'll see that on most scary flicks.

Downhill: Yes, it is quite disturbing in parts. That's why I give it the not for kids rating.

If youve ever seen "The Others" the ending has a real good twist even though the movie was long and didnt move very quickly
