I was positively surprised to see Sandra Bullock stepping out from the darkness after not seeing her for such a long time. I've always loved her and same goes to John Malkovich. When the movie started and I saw them together I thought "wow, I'm so happy I get to see them together, and the movie seems promising too!"

But I'm sorry to say that the plot of this film was average at it's best. Everything else was from okay to great - the director Susanne Bier does a decent job and personally I have nothing to complain about her work. All the actors, even the small kids, do a fine job.

So what went wrong? The plot, the whole story. It had a promising hook with pretty unique monsters. Without saying too much I'll just state that I was perfectly fine with the way the story dealt with the entities - that's not the problem. The problem was unimaginative and dull story with lukewarm twists that you could foresee from miles away.

In my books this film goes to category B-, a movie which I will never watch again because it would be too damn boring.
