    warning!!!

    DO NOT see this movie if you think it's going to be good like "Signs" or "The sixth sense". I wasted 90 minutes of my life watching this film, it was rubbish, the acting by everyone was rubbish, the plot was rubbish, the script was rubbish!! 90 minutes of rubbish!!

    I'm so glad I didn't pay to watch this (friend at cinema!) if I had, I would have asked for my money back! I was actually shocked by how bad this film was when I left the cinema. I wouldn't even watch it on dvd or the tv. It wasn't even a good B movie, god knows who actually financed it.

    Painful

    Another 85min of my life I will not get back.

    The writer clearly thought it would be a good idea to make a film of people killing themselves in different ways and then trying to wrap it in a storyline as an after thought (emphasis on the word 'TRYING'). even the effects used when people do top themselves is laughable, you could do better by buying a camcorder and taking a trip down the local joke shop and buying some fake blood and a rubber knife.

    I suggest you steer well clear.

    M Night Shyamalan is drawn to the supernatural like a moth to a light. So when a bunch of high school biology students kick around theories for the unexplained disappearance of tens of thousands of honey bees in the last couple of years, it's no surprise that the hypothesis their teacher, Mr Moore (Mark Wahlberg) likes best is that this is a natural event we will probably never fully understand. Let that be a lesson to us all, because while audiences will probably spend a good deal of the trim Read more
