Great movie! Only gets a 6.0 on imdb... proof that people are stupid.

I am afraid that you are wrong. If you check the analysis of rating, you can see at the moment when I write this post that best marks have been given by females under 18 (teens), while females over 45 (with life experiences) have given it the lowest rating.

But females, being only about 15 percent of all voters, don't influence so much on final, total rating. But even among male voters, teen males gave better marks for this movie than other, adult male age groups.

Brain washing isn't limited to teenagers. If so, this world would look significantly better today (though our future would be dark), because teenagers don't have so big influence; brainwashed adults are by far more dangerous, and obviously more common than you think.

It proof that people have different opinion and it proof that u are a real idiot! I am a teenager and i gave this film a 6/10. And i know how to watch a film, and i know that people have different opinions, and i know how to respect those opinions too.

May u finally rest in peace

I would have rated it higher if it didn't try so hard to *be* such an atmospheric thriller. This movie succeeds enough on creeping you out enough by the actions of the kid and the mother; we don't need all the darkened shots and creepy music to push it over the top.

Yeah i agree it was a good movie first of all i wasnt fussed but as the movie went on it improved a lot and in the end it was a really intelligent and enjoyable movie.

Nope , it proves that you are stupid.

Jokes aside, I gave it less than a 6 because it was bad. The only saving graces are Rockwell and Farmiga.

@ OP... Well i am damn near 31 myself and consider myself a big Vera Farmiga fan because she's a solid actress and she's very attractive (even Sam Rockwell can be solid at times to in acting dept) but the film overall was just 'OK'. i gave it a 6/10.

i kind of think it's ending could have been better i guess. but in terms of bottom line entertainment a 6/10 sounds about right.

but i guess what i got from it was that the kid pretty much wanted to get rid of his parents so he could be with Ned and his little sister and that's what appears happened as i think the film just assumes Sam Rockwell's character is pretty much doomed from all the witnesses etc.

p.s. but i will agree with the OP that sometimes some films are underrated but one (action) film i think is definitely underrated on IMDB is Mission Impossible II (2000) as that should be comfortably in the high 6's MINIMUM for the average rating as it's the best MI film but i wonder if it was so disliked because it feels different from the 1996 one which has a more MI feel to it.

i pretty much agree with... 'El_Blue_Flamingo'.

although i as i said a million times before... 'it's not really about being original anymore, it's mostly about taking a idea that's already been done before and doing it well'.

You're far, far too kind to "Batman Forever". That waste of everyone's time doesn't deserve better than a 1. But, too each his own, I guess.
