OH MY GOD!!! I shouldn't even bother doing a review. This whole page should consist of:

The music went horribly with the scenes. Ok, sometimes it went well, but other times it was horrendous. Nicole Kidman was just weird. Sometimes she would talk and I would dab my ears with tissue because I thought they were bleeding. Ok, it wasn't that bad, but seriously, she was awful. Her voice was... too soft, but as if she's trying to be...posh or something. It was ugh. The opening scene was Sean's death. He was jogging. HE WAS JOGGING FOR SO LONG!! It's like, "ok, we get it, he's jogging. Tell me when he's done, I'm reading a book." I would accept it if there were credits at the begining, but there were none. I would also accept it if it was one of those very quiet, very slow, movies that make you think. But this just had so many horrendous things it was not making me think, oh wait, no I was thinking how much better Hannibal Rising was!! Then there was another scene, where Anna realized she kind of believes the kid, and she's watching an orchestra and we're watching her. Point blank. It's all suspensful music and it's her face. For practically...more than 5 minutes!!! and then pretty much halfway through I'm thinking "Oh! Oh! Her eyes are getting red, there's a change! There's a change!" and then we watched her with red eyes for another goddamn who knows how long. The point is it was fucking long. Did the editor get hit by a car or just decide not to show up for work? Who was it, a hobo? Goddamn it. Ugh. Oh and in one scene, one of the girls had eyes that looked like blackholes and once again the camera was on her for about 4 minutes and she was just standing there, turning her head side to side with her mouth slightly open. She looked like that black sea thing from the X-Files and it was not cool! It was like, jesus christ, how much are you paying the editor? I am so upset. So...don't see this. I mean, ok, in it's defense I will say, It was an interesting concept and it could of been done very well. But it wasn't, therefore it sucked. Oh ya, the ending was stupid too. Ok, maybe it would of been ok if the rest of the movie wasn't such crap.

The trailer made the movie seem great, that's why I saw it. Do not be fooled!
Sincerely,
