Thumbs up Yup Yup Yup post #16  quote:

Yeah I also thought the previews were very misleading. In my opinion the film wasn't better then Unbreakable, or Signs, but it was better then The Sixth Sense. Only because they had about 13 holes in the 6th sense. He even admitted the film was very sloppy, but did good because it came out in a time where no1 else was doing those type films. I mean if you've seen 6th sense you'll know what Im talking about, lol. So it comes in 3rd of 4 films.

BTW: Also, M.Night made a msitake with the previews. The people that madethe previews for Cabin Fever are the people who were doing with him. We all saw how Cabin Fever looked scary in previews, then came the film and wow, nothing to do with scary. So M.Night was working with a different party on this film. I didnt like the preview misleading us either, but hey, his mistake not mine, lol.

Yea some people enjoyed the movie...Which I did, but it just went to slow for me, I like more fast paced movies. And just the ending wasn't satisfying enough for me

Yeah, I agree. I've seen it twice now, and for some reason, it was better the second time round.
Did you hear the sounds coming from the creature when it was chasing Ivy, or when it was in the village? They weren't human sounds, and couldn't have been made by a human. That's the only thing I thought...

It was ok, though. The plot could have been busier, but it was ok.

For me it was better the first time I saw it...Only because I got somewhat frightened the second time around it about made me laugh.
And yes your right the sounds the creature was making wasn't human...I'm sure they just added that for effect, but they must have thought how it didn't go with the fact that it was actually human?
I don't know some things about the movie confused me a bit.

The actual village was nice, very beautiful. I must say though you are the first person I heard say they actually 'enjoyed' the movie.

Wow really!! That really comes as a shock to me because every person I know that saw the movie really liked it. That is very interesting. A big reason that I liked it so much was because of the village and what it stood for. I mean if there were a program like were you could sign up to live in a place with like minded people where money didnt exist and alot of the problems people face in modern society were not a problem you were likely to face I would be the first to sign up even though it would mean giving up many of the things I enjoy most. But also their is a lesson to be learned that as long as you live you will experience pain and sorrow, it is not something you can escape. I dont know I think the movie was incredibly deep. I saw it again the next day after I saw it the first time.

Yes, it did have some deep meaning to it, I will say that much. Though I suppose it could be taken in quite a few ways.
Perhaps the reason why most people I know didn't like it was because they were just going to see a 'scary' movie and well, it didn't really turn out to be as scary as they made it look like it would be. If you were going to see it for the reason you mentioned, then I suppose it would be enjoyable.

I liked it a lot.


Very slow movie. I knew the one spoilers going in,


that the creatures were the townspeople, but I didn't know the second spoiler, that it was present day.


That blew me away.

I loved the film, the cinematography part. The valley they were in was stunning.

I thought it was cool that M. Night made an appearance in it.


The only thing about the movie I found cheesy, was the medicine in the frig, right by the cub-board.

I was like, huh?!!!!


They just keep meds in a frig, in the shack, in a glass refrig?


Still, it was a fun movie I thought.

I was very disappointed in this movie. I expected maybe some twists and turns, but alas nothing interesting. I found it extremely predictable.

If it weren't for the annoying sound effects and music at times....
I could have had a perfectly sound and relaxing nap.

It's good, but if you just read the spoilers, you probably won't like it.

I didn't know anything going into it, but with this dude's films, you have to expect something wacky at the end so all these different scenarios were going through my head.

The ending paid off for me. Solid.
