If you didn't like this director's other movies, don't bother with this one, cause you probably won't "get it". But if you did, give this one a chance, you will find it beautiful and haunting.
Sure the are potential "holes" in the story, but is this a documentary? NO, so why can't fictions have holes as long as it communicates its theme? Which this movie does so eloquently.
This is not a "horror" movie, like "signs" is not a "sci-fi" movie, rather the settings/backdrop of the story serves as a stage whereby we get a glimpse of the people and their struggle of facing their real fears. I found this movie so refreshing in that it does not follow tried true boring Hollywood formulas of any genre, rather it digs down deep into the story and communicates with us on that level. I feel sorry for peole who wants a cheap thrill, this ain't your skunk beer, this is good wine.
The actings are just superb and Oscar worthy. A+ for me.
