I´m going to give this movie a 1/10 just for the moronic ideia that poor people shouldnt have kids and Rich people should find a way to "buy"... and well.. wow theyare so happy now!....

Here I was, expecting some kind of slasher, horror or thriller movie (or maybe a combination of them all). Instead I got mind ***ked not just once, but twice.

This movie is not about someone mysterious trying to capture kids just to murder them for their pleasure.

It is about a group of people (not just Mr. and Mrs. Dennings) who lost faith in society and think that taking away children from their parents and giving them to rich people is the answer to problems the kids might not even see they have. Thinking about this movie has my mind question what I think of it, constantly. Is the ending in the movie bad? Maybe. No. Yes. No. I actually start wondering if the people making the movie are making a statement saying "it is better to be rich than to be poor" or that this is exactky the kind of statement they are critizing.

My problem with this movie is that it doesn't go deep enough. It cuts you a little, making you bleed mentally. But it doesn't get me anrgy or upset enough. I think this is because the way the statement is made, it is made quite safe. Although for once our hero isn't really a hero and defenitely is not going for a happy end. Emotionally you can question the so-called happy end of Jenny... She is supposed to be happy, but isn't completely.

All-in-all an interesting and good movie. Not such a bad movie some people here blame it to be.

I like the atmosphere of the village at the beginning and the movie starts nice.

However, I don't buy it when suddenly all villagers are "evil" this is too much and stopped watching. Didn't like it, watch Jack Reacher it's better ;)

Movie message is not clear, too presumptuous. Movie is basically bad.

I have to agree with pdr: the main idea behind the movie only works if you have doubts yourself... the way it is presented definitely not!
When this first came up I dismissed the movie as a crappy hollywood slasher because it looked rather dumb. Only just recently I was made aware of the fact that it's the same director as the french movie Martyrs so I was intrigued. The whole marketing for this movie is so misleading it's not even funny. In my case it did it even more harm than good. It's not the worst movie I've seen but I expected better. Props for him trying such an off-kilter concept, unfortunately it was too underdeveloped.
