Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.

Dotbankey A lot of fun.

TaryBiggBall It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

firefly-31998 An absolute gem of a movie. The cast were brilliant. The shocks were enough to make me go YUK. Six was so scary. He just needed to look at someone and you knew they were next. The ending was not what I expected and I loved it. If you love horror with a twist then you have to watch this movie.

Finfrosk86 Ugh, I'm SO annoyed by some of the ratings on here. I watch a lot of low budget-ish horror. Often in the 4-5-6 rating- range. Although, I mostly skip those with a rating of under 5, because they are rarely any good. However. This one currently has a rating of 5.7. That's not that low, but it is too low. It should be in the 6-range somewhere. Why? Because it looks good. It's never boring. Has a interesting story. And has some pretty cool characters - Liam Cunningham being one of them. He's not like unforgettable or anything, but he has a strong presence to him. And I think the fact that he is in it, is some of the reason for this movie having a lower score than it deserves. That's gonna attract people that normally wouldn't watch this type of horror movie, and so, they expect something else than what they get. Expectations play a HUGE role in how you like a movie, unfortunately. If you go into this expecting a entertaining, relatively small, horror-thriller, I think you'll enjoy it. I've seen so many movies with scores in the 5's, and most of them suck. This doesn't. So yeah, you can't always trust IMDb-ratings. Too many people give bad ratings to be shocking, or to seem interesting. And that is, to quote the President, SAD.

suite92 The Three Acts:The initial tableaux: The movie starts in Scotland on the coast of the ocean near the small city of Inveree. A man walks among the rocks and modest cliffs around sundown; the waves are crashing against the rocks and the land. Groups of crows are in flight. The music is techno and overbearing; the visuals were impressive until we had the lens flare dumped on us. The man seems grim and dodgy as he lights his cigarette in the wind, and looks below him at the city lit against the dying light.Within Inveree, night shift police officers ready themselves for the evening, one wakening at 19 hundred hours. The crows are on the roof tops.Delineation of conflicts: Six has a purpose, and he sets off events within the city. As Rachel makes her first walk to the station, Caesar speeds past her and apparently slams into Six. His body is not found, though, just residual fresh blood. Rachel and Sgt MacReady process Caesar, then incarcerate him in a cell next to the more than suspected wife beater Ralph Beswick. MacReady introduces Rachel over the radio to officers Warnock and Mundie, who have recently finished coitus on duty. Sigh. Mundie hints on the call that Rachel has had trouble of her own before being exiled to Inveree. Mundie and Warnock find and bring in Six, who is a bit worse for the auto encounter. They summon Dr Hume.By this juncture, the cast and fundamental relationships are established, so it seems time for the flashbacks to begin. Most of the film's driving conflicts are about the internal struggles depicted in these reveries/flashbacks. Dr Hume has a bloody dark secret that sets him off to kill Six, but he is restrained. Each character has some secret that Six somehow brings to the surface.Resolution: Six seems intent on sanctioning each of the guilty. Who will be left?

hoytyhoyty This film was enjoyable, but several things tried to wreck it.The story was good, an archetypal one. M Night Shyamylan in one of his two good films - 'Devil' (the other being 'The Sixth Sense' and all his other output being unwatchable shyte) - covered the same material in a similar way: Strangers gathered, but why? A dark intruder with a purpose. Raise heat to simmer.The performances were excellent.That's all good, but some of the production choices weren't: * Took far too long, with too many meaningful looks. This undermined some beautiful cinematography and wonderful scene composition.* The god-awful jump-cuts.* The god-awful music accompanying the jump-cuts.* The hysterically bad opening sequence. The film nearly didn't make it to playing through for us. The opening finally, finally finished, and we declared "It's got 2 minutes more to convince us." It only JUST scraped in to a continued watching.If somebody got hold of the original tapes and an AVIS machine and just stripped and stripped and slashed and edited, this film could be a gem.- -- ---
