Elliot Moore: "Can this really be happening?"
When New York is struck by a series of inexplicable mass suicides, science teacher Elliot Moore (Mark Wahlberg) and his wife Alma (Zooey Deschanel) escape to the country to flee what is being touted as a terrorist attack.
However, it soon becomes clear that even the remotest hamlet is not safe from the happening. Sixth Sense director M. Night Shymalan's post-September 11 chiller veers between comedy-horror and grisly terror to deliver a sombre ecological warning.
Highlights include teams of construction workers tumbling to their deaths while the lowlights - and there are plenty of them - centre on Wahlberg's appalling comedy acting, a braindead script and plot that seems to be suffering some sort of psychological breakdown.
