I liked the movie myself, I'm not sure if that puts me in the minority but I dont care either way. I do think the movie was too dependent on the end this time, but I liked the end. So for those of you who were disappointed with the ending it makes sense why you would hate the entire film.

Spoiler: Anyone notice the newspaper M. Night was reading? I think it made a good point about what we see in the paper now days. Every article in the paper you saw was about violence and I think that was the point of the film. Because we get to see how innocent the people were in that time period. I thought the idea of the elders dressing up as monsters to scare the others was great. Not only did it serve their main purpose of keeping everyone from leaving the villlage, it also brought the community closer together. It makes you wonder if it would be so bad to be taken back to a time like that? So, IMHO I think the movie does make you think, made me think at least.

BTW I wouldn't be surprised if that was the biggest spoiler ever.

**edit**

For the record I would just like to say that I think this was probably his weakest film but I still enjoyed it a lot. I love the score's in M. Night's movies. There were some parts in this movie where the score reminded me of a remixed version of Signs, but overall it was great. Im going to have to give the movie an 8/10
