...well after seeing it advertised for channel 4 I went and found it online and watched it and ow dear.


This to be fair is one of those films you watch and cant really believe whats going on has been made into a film concept. Please do watch it just so that you have it for comparison reasons in the future.

I enjoyed it - but then again all I remember seeing in it was Zooey Deschanel - was there a plot and other people in it....??

Still, it's not half as bad as the Hollywood remake of the Eco-crap film 'Age of Stupid', The Day the Earth Stood Still.

Terrible film IMO.
Trailer looked good, started off good, then went downhill very quickly to almost laughable.

All IMO obviously.

This movie is the HUGEST pile of horse dung ever made. I was so appauled as to how bad it was, it was quite unfathomable. Terrible in every way, from the acting, to the cast, to the story, did I mention the acting? Do you think they knew it was a train wreck a few days in making it? Lol

A work buddy was telling me that in the extras of the DVD (yes he was stupid enough to buy the film) Mark Warhlberg (sp) and M Night Shamalalalayayan were arguing quite a bit about his character. Could be why he acted it so strangely

On another note I though Devil was fairly good. Nothing groundbreaking but certainly not unwatchable especially compared to his last few films. I don't think we'll be seeing much more of M Night Ding-a-ling, but then again I won't be surprised if we do.
