I don't know what is wrong all the reviewers. I also do not know what is wrong with Mr. Night. It seemed that he just gone from great with his Sixth Sense to bad to worst. Writing your own scripts and directing it is an excellent move, however, it does not mean it will always work out. In the later cases of Night's movies, it appeared that he rushed his scripts and did not take any care at all on examining his plot or characters. When you have characters explaining things near the end of the film to the audience and when the dialogs are said purely to explain something to us, we know there is something wrong. And when the plot had to be twisted so much in order to fit everything in and rendered it so twisted it became disfigured and disjointed, it is another bad sign.
Mr. Night used to be compared with Mr. Hitchcock, I would dare say this comparison is getting a little too absurd. Intelligent scripts are not easy to come by and intelligent scripts with symbolic meanings are even harder to come by. If one is to argue the fact that this movie is also about the supression of a community through the usage of fear etc...I would have to conclude that you had watched very little old films of the great eras of Hithcocks and other great directors.
