Megan's Movie Review:
This is another movie I was not sure what it was really about and it surprised me with the story. I really love this director M. Night Shyamalan. He always has such interesting movies. I loved The Village and Signs. This movie was just as interesting. It seems like it would be freaky, but its not. It has a few frightening parts. It is not fast paced but the story line is entertaining. But personally this would be a scary/weird bedtime story to tell your children. Apparently, if you watch some of the bonus features where M. Night Shyamalan talks about how this movie came about, it was a story he started telling his children. But other than that, I really liked Mr. Heep and the chinese girl. She was so cute and funny in her own little way and she reminded me a little bit (because of her hair sometimes) of Rufio from the movie Hook (haha). I really liked this movie. It's different for sure though.

Am I crazy to like this strange odd movie?! :)
