Trailer quality is not very good but we get a first look at his new film. Looks entertaining.

Oh, and we know that there are those of you who cannot stand this guy or his movies, let's try and not turn this into a bag on Night thread.

    Interesting. Definitely more morbid than his other releases.

    As much as I have been disappointed with his last few movies, I'll watch this one. I'm sure the ending will suck, as most have after "The Sixth Sense" but oh well.. maybe the ride will be worth it.

    Cool, can't wait to see it. At least this guy has the ability to use his imagination. I get so sick of the cliche template films and remakes.

    Oh, yeah. Gotta see this one. M. Night is a creepy ****. Mark Wahlberg is in it. That's cool.

    *In my best Napoleon Dynamite voice* "Yesss!" I love M Night movies. Except the Lady in the Water. I couldn't even sit through the whole thing.

    Very cool, I like him as an actor, very enjoyable on screen.

    Is this from a Stephen King novel ?

    Looks good from the trailer, the plot rings a bell, though.

    Unfortunately, this movie is NOT getting very good early reviews.... not that I really care, but early screeners have given this some almost comically bad marks.
    If you will it, dude, it is no dream.

    ooohhh Zooey Deschanel. I love her and all of her quirkiness!! Something about her.

    Cant wait to see it. I could not care what the reviewers are saying. Now M. Night is going hard core, and the people will still hate him. LITW was okay, but the rest of his films were great IMHO. At least he tries something different. While the rest of Hollywood gives us remakes of old cartoons, TV shows, and comics because they cannot come up with something original on their own. Hell even Hollywood cant make good horror films any more, they have to steal them from Japan.

    Yep, from what I hear the ending is just plain bad. But, I've enjoyed all his films so I'll check this one out as well, like most all other films, turn the brain off and enjoy the ride.
