Molly: (4 out of 5 stars): "I enjoyed watching this movie again. It's biggest impact is definitely the first time around, but watching it subsequent times is also interesting. And it never fails to make me close my eyes and jump several times! Well acted and a good thriller."

Nick
(4 out of 5 stars): "A captivating movie that held my attention despite the fact that I have seen it multiple time."

Random Movie Facts (from IMDb.com):
  • Reputedly, Haley Joel Osment got the role of Cole Sear for one of three reasons: First, he was best for it. Second, he was the only boy at auditions who wore a tie. Third, M. Night Shyamalan was surprised when he asked Haley Joel Osment if he read his part. Osment replied, "I read it three times last night." Shyamalan was impressed saying, "Wow, you read your part three times?" To which Osment replied, "No, I read *the script* three times."
  • The Latin phrase Cole speaks in the church when he first meets Malcolm: "De profundis clamo ad te domine" translates to "Out of the depths, I cry to you, Oh Lord." These are the first few words of Psalm 130 in the Book of Psalms.
