You always want to love Sandra Bullock and John Malkovich. And seriously wonder what makes them take roles like this. This is when people try to make artsy-fartsy films out of nothing. One critic called it "a psychological comparison study of parenthood with self-destruction and the struggle to survive." Oh, how deep. I knew from about the first five minutes of this film that it would be much like the last "everybody starts committing suicide" film "The Happening." It has much in common with this film. Both have big names most people like in movies. Both explain absolutely nothing. Both have endings that suck. And both movies absolutely stink. If it wasn't for the obligatory and contrived violence people would fall asleep during this movie. And jumping back and forth in time is annoying. I always hated the "constant flashback" method of making movies. In this one some guy who lived for about 5 minutes babbled about his novel he was writing about ancient demons. So it's demons. Right. But that isn't what the movie portrays. They didn't go into any religious nonsense, so why even infer demons? Ridiculous. What a lazy script. It doesn't matter if the talent is good if the shallow story absolutely sucks. And the ending will leave you scratching your head. Just like the rest of the movie. What, that's supposed to be a good result for them?
