Overall, the movie is not bad. Although not as great as "The Sixth Sense" or not as engaging as "The Village", it's worth your "visit" in the cinemas. M. Knight Shyamalan tries to incorporate his "storytelling" technique and close-to-home/family-oriented themes in the film, but it's not as polished as TSS. Although the documentary-type genre has its limitations, the film was able to deliver some very effective sequences and memorable scenes. Strong performances from the main child actors and lead "oldies". The film could have been better (if we compare it to high standards he set in TSS), but with this film, M. Night Shyamalan seems to be back in business.
