Reel Talk:

Not being a great fan of films written and directed by M. Night Shyamalan (because I find them uninteresting and boring), I went into this one expecting nothing different, but to be honest this movie was one of his best yet. Normally his films will build you up with hype and let you down with a weak ending, this one was an exception. It will build you up and then give you an interesting surprise ending, sorta like a modern day Hansel and Gretel story. Although this is a horror, suspense thriller be prepare to get your laugh on because Ed QxenBould as the diverse confused rapping young box will have you rolling laughing. This is a movie that you will enjoy and so it is worth the ticket admission, so go check it out.
