so i stumbled on this movie while flipping the channels last weekend and decided to check it out. reasons for this? i love both mark wahlberg and zooey deschanel; i respect m. knight shyamalan; i wanted to see what this movie was all about.
first thing that confused me was the relationship between mark and zooey - they could've been brother and sister for all the chemistry they were trying so hard to suppress! bad casting, in my opinion. and even if you reason out that they were supposed to lack the chemistry because of some marital problems, they still should have exuded this "i love you, i loved you" kind of vibe. i guess i'm trying to say "yearning".
i didn't understand the "enemy/bad guy" too. there was no closure to the story, actually, never explained what the eff it was! and i don't buy that bullshit about plants! if you can only come up with that, then you're not the genius that i thought you were, mr. shyamalan. tsk, tsk.
there was ONE scary part. one. what does that say about this movie???
i'll end this by saying that if you want to be confused out of your mind and don't know what's going on and want subtle scares, go watch this film.
