I really liked it.  If you like M. Night Shamalan, you'll really like it.  Much better than The Village.  The tension just builds the entire movie and you get swept along with what is realy a b-movie plot that not only works, but moves you and scares you at times.  You feel totally invested in all the charaters.  I put the movie on  par with Signs and Sixth Sense.
But it is better than those two movies.  I think anyway.  And Paul Giamatti should get an Oscar for his performance and if he doesn't then they should just do away with Ocars all together.  I really liked his character. 

Any other impressions? 

I haven't seen it yet, but I'm an M. Night my mama.  I've like all of 'em...  Yes, I LIKED The Village and Signs.

I can't wait...  Apparently, every time the preview comes on I stop doing whatever it is that I'm doing and stare at the TV...  Somewhere near the end I always say, "Oh....   I wanna see that..."

I have no recollection of this, but my wife tells me it's true... So, it must be. 

Paul Giamatti=pig vomit, lol soory couldn't resist, every time i see him thats all i can think about

I saw it.  Meh.  Paul Giamatti's character annoyed the shaZam! out of me. 

As far as his movies go, it's in the middle.  Signs really turned me off of M. Night Shyamalan.  

Sixth Sense
Unbreakable
Lady in the Water
The Village
Signs

Excellent.
I think it was his best.
Humor where you wouldn't expect it.
Also a technically great movie.  Great camera work and a properly logical story line.  Nothing puts me off a movie more than an illogical random story line, except maybe Monte Python.

Critics have already shredded LITW.  I don't know, but I saw Signs on the strength of favorable reviews and came away thinking M. Night was grossly overrated in the media.          

wtf? as you can tell im not much of a movie watcher, but fill me in, what type of movie is this?, and well i guess thats all at the moment

The critics have shredded the movie, because MN had a funny in the movie at the expense of the critics.
The CBS Sunday morning critic had a tirade about how tough it is to be a critic and how great they are and how they used to get so much respect.
Personally I agree with Kinky Friedman, "No kid ever grew up wanting to be the world's best critic".
Ignore the critics, see the movie.
Nuff said

I'm with Egaeus.  Ever since I paid good money to be let down by Signs, M. Night has been on my "wait till it hits Netflix" list.  The older I get the more I find myself agreeing with the critics and a 24% on www.rottentomatoes.com is not very inspiring. 

I still think he's a technically skilled director and cinematographer, but ever since the Sixth Sense he's chosen the dumbest stories to make into movies.
