1. Yup -- two hours of your life just gone

"The Sixth Sense" was M. Night's one really good movie. "Unbreakable" was pretty good. Everything else? *gag*

2. I thought it was OK

the twist was predictable, but the idea behind it was pretty good. Atmosphere was OK.

I give it a B-

5. Yeah it was slow moving

I realize that was in part because the director was going for that, but they could have sped certain things up...

But still better than 99% of the crap released by Hollywood today (Deuce Bigalow II anyone?)

7. Agreed, the concept was cool, the execution felt like exactly that.

There is so much that could have been done with that story and in such an interesting way, but M. Knight Shamalamadingdong blew it.

8. Ok, I'll pre-warn you then

DO NOT watch When a Stranger Calls. Lamest. Horror. Film. Ever. Makes The Village look scary and action-packed. You're welcome.
