I thought this movie was trash. I'm being generous with two stars. I don't like horror films at all, so I was at least glad that this wasn't a horror movie in any way imaginable.The grandparents were the best part of the movie because the kids were awful. The brother was particularly annoying with all his "rapping". There was one line from the sister that had me side-eyeing the screenwriter. She referred to her brother as ethnically confused. Hmmm, why is he ethnically confused, because he raps and wears urban-style clothing or what have you? What is he confused about? It sounded like a way to imply that he thinks he's black. Rapping and wearing certain clothes or low pants doesn't make a person black. I found the whole thing insulting.The end of the movie was a joke but I wasn't laughing.

Why do I watch Shyamalan's movies!! I can't say this is his worst movie (The Village) but geez! I will admit that I did not see the twist coming. Which is the first time that has happened in one of his movies since Unbreakable (most of his movies I cannot even discern what the twist was supposed to be). So some kids go to their grandparents house. The older child is an obnoxious, pretentious film snob -- one can only hope this is Shyamalan admitting to the world that he takes himself and his work WAY too seriously. The pertinent information is set up SO AWKWARDLY it is ridiculous. Randomly, the younger child starts talking about a past football experience that later becomes relevant. There HAD to be a better way to fit that in the story. The germ-phobia was also forced into the story so it could later be a plot device. That could easily have been worked in more elegantly. Also, haven't we seen the germ-phobia thing before? and the sports rage?I was not expecting much from this film, and it delivered. I watched it "to get it out of the way" because I feel obligated to watch his movies for some reason.

Weirdly creepily absolutely terrifying. If I saw this in a movie theatre I would have kept backpedaling out of there with the horror. Really stupendously awesome. I could see this totally.

I'm not going to comment on the plot. That's an entirely different discussion but the two kids were so bad at acting that I stopped watching it twice in the middle. It shouldn't have been very hard to write the kids' part but somehow, the writer just forgot that they are kids and gave them amazingly unrealistic lines. The two actors may not be so bad at acting but here, either they did a terrible job or the director made them act so stupid.
