Whilst the tone of the film is quite good with excellent cinematography and some great performances by the actors, the entire concept is just too bizarre. We are left with too many questions and no answers and I feel the film is something televangelists would just love. Mr. Shymalan's films are often hit and miss. For me, this is a miss.
More context is required for the motivation behind the visitors. Some sort of answer is surely needed at the end of the film. Why were the couple and their child chosen by whatever messaged the four visitors? Why must the sacrifices be made? Sorry, in many ways I started to feel quite bored during the film. I don't mind watching a "cerebral" film but this is far too cryptic for me.
