- aamillikin5d agoJust god awful.
- tellumAugust 19, 2025This is one of the worst directed movies as there is no excuse to see the performances the actors put out and not see a problem. I can accept the idea that a lot of bad movies can actually look ok when filming scenes in isolation and it isn’t apparent how bad it is when it comes together in editing, but with this one there is no way. It had to be painfully apparent to all involved that this sucked except M Night, this is what he wanted and it should haunt him forever.
- I AMSeptember 15, 2025Looks like the actors just needed a paycheck
- alihoneycuttSeptember 1, 2025There's a deadly contagion that affects people in places that are mostly ignored and very thinly populated. Quick! If you want to survive, everyone head to a WNBA arena!!
- SaturnFoxDieJuly 18, 2025Amazing movie, period. One of the directors best.
- Kevin WardJuly 3, 2025My kids picked this movie tonight. They seem to gravitate towards M. Night films when given that option. I really did not care for this film when it came out, but I have to say it’s definitely much better than I remember. Honestly, the only things holding me back from a higher score are Wahlberg’s performance and the fact that he and Deschanel have zero chemistry together. Wahlberg actually had more chemistry with the plastic plant, which admittedly was a really funny moment. Entertaining watch and the family liked it too.
