My Rating:
OK beginning, pay-off kinda sucks.
How much I spent:
Free! (preview pass)
What I expected was a creepy, scary supernatural movie much like M. Night Shyamalan's other movies like the Sixth Sense or Signs. What I got was something else. It was a mix of comedy and drama and Amish in the City. What kept me going most of the movie was looking for the cameo that Shyamalan makes (it's towards the end). I have to admit, the movie did have some scary parts, but the ending "surprise" sucked ass, and I left the movie feeling dissappointed. It wasn't just me. After the movie, there were no claps, just ughs. (Hey! At least the Notebook got claps!)
Basic Plot:
There's this village, and they got these woods around the village. The people in the village don't go in the woods because "those-we-don't-speak-of" (you know, Voldemort!) live there and are big and scary. Well, someone (Joaquin Phoenix) crossed the barrier and hilarity ensues.
What I liked about the movie:
- Mustard yellow = safe color because it goes with everything.
- Let's send the blind girl into the woods!
- Waiting in line for the movie and talking about Wonder Woman and her Lasso of Truth.
What I didn't like about the movie:
- Greasy, retard (uh.. I mean mentally-Challenged) Adrian Brody. (Sorry, he just got annoying!)
- We never do get to know the color Joaquin Phoenix looks like to the blind girl.
- Red = bad color, so the whole movie is sorta bland.
- The ending... duh!
