The previews excited me.....the movie bored me.  It seemed Mark Wahlberg's only job was to stand there and wrinkle his forehead.  I've read interviews with M. Night S...(I'm not going to try to spell his name) that said he really pushed himself to crank up the goriness in this movie.  Compaired to others it was quite tame.  Most of the worst of it happens off scene and you see the effect or someone's reaction to it.  Or it happens so far in the distance on the screen that it lacks the intimacy to be really chilling.  I'm glad I only paid for a matinee but even then it really wasn't worth it for me.
