While vacationing, a girl and her parents are taken hostage by armed strangers who demand that the family make a terrible choice to avert the apocalypse.
M. Night Shyamalan has always impressed me as a director. Taking over the mantle for greats like Hitchcock, he tells a story that leaves you wondering what you would do in the situation. He relies on you filling in the gaps for the violence and does not show gore like other Horror/Thriller directors. What is in your mind is far worse than anything he can show you. I like this style of directing. We don't need more evil thoughts in our heads. This is a creepy psychological thriller more than a horror, but the tension is powerful in some scenes. M. Night Shyamalan's patented twists will leave you wondering until the very end. Can he shock you one more time? Have a watch and let me know what you thought of this ending.
