I screened this last night, and perhaps I was expecting too much. I was hoping for an intense psychological thriller with fun plot twists along the lines of Silence of the Lambs, and what the film turned out to be was some sort of amalgam of torture porn and a teenage superhero movie. The whole first two thirds of the movie went in an ordinary straight line with ham handed flashbacks to the girl's childhood. Every move the film made was telegraphed except for the absurd body transformation gag at the end of the movie. The lead actor was excellent. He could have easily carried the suspense through the ending without having to resort to becoming Spiderman. I hope he gets a chance to be in a horror movie that isn't written and directed down to the lowest common denominator in the future.

That actor is James McAvoy. And he deserves an Oscar nomination for his performance imo. And he's already signed for the sequel called Glass which completes the M Night Shayamalan trilogy which began with Unbreakable.

I loved it.
