I've read all the previous comments, after having seen the film. It is best to go to it without knowing much about it (obviously), so I refused to read anything until after watching the film.
I understand those people that did not like it. There are movies I do not care for and other people love; but I personally savored this film. To put it in perspective (so that you know where I am coming from), I enjoyed this as much or more than Unbreakable, and I personally liked Unbreakable more than The Sixth Sense. (Putting on my asbestos suit now).
For my taste, it had the right amount of thrills, chills, and engaging characters to boot. My wife could have used a little less thrills and chills. She complained of her back being sore for being so tense. Yet again, we care what happens to these people.
My recommendation is: If you have disliked ANY of M. Night's previous films, consult with a friend that has seen it and shares your sensibilities (and will not give the plot away...)
