To be honest I thought this movie could have been a whole lot better. The cast did a great job with what they had to work with, which was to say the least not very much. As I've mentioned before M. Night Shyamalan has really gone off the deep end, and doesn't seem to be surfacing. As mentioned by others Sixth Sense and Unbreakable were both incredible, but his other movies have been falling through the floor.
The religious context in this movie goes a little over the top, but that isn't my biggest complaint.. the aliens aren't that frightening. I actually had people tell me that they were unnerved by the scene with the alien walking out in front of the camera on the news report. Honestly I think that Shyamalans movies should be checked for subliminal context because to me the alien looked like a man in a rubber suit, just like all the other aliens by the end of the movie.
There was nothing freaky about it. It could have been a lot better, especially for the quality of the cast that was hired.
