This film was a sleeper--literally. OK, so I was really tired when I watched it, I fell asleep about 40 minutes into it, and woke up near the end. Not only did I have a good nap, but I spared myself the utter pretentiousness of this film, whose visual interest quickly wears thin in the absence of any meaningful character or plot development.While I am a huge fan of M. Night Shamalan's earlier works, I felt betrayed that this was marketed as a horror film, when the scariest thing about it is that I actually paid to rent it. Far from his best work, the film lumbers along, and upon waking, my wife brought me up to speed on the plot twists in about two sentences. Perhaps the most glaring testament to the film's ineptness is that it did not even sustain my curiosity enough to want to review what I had missed the following day. If you're into movies with silly fixations on color and dress from an indeterminate period, then you may enjoy this. I preferred my nap, however.
