Greenes Please don't spend money on this.

Derrick Gibbons An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Michelle Ridley The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

Ortiz Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Jane215 Like the hideously confounding and at times chilling stuff urban legends are made of, M Night continues to walk hand in hand with the likes of the Nelly the Lochness and the Blair witch. Once again M Night has pulled something similar to a horrifically ghastly gunny sack over our heads all the while dragging us into the middle of a wooded area in the dead of the witching hour fully intent on leaving us there to fend for ourselves. Although more of a shocumentary, one expects a level of cleared understanding when immersing into a documentary. However, M Night would have none of it. Whether he is a genius in his own right, or just plain insane, M Night has added all the elements of terror and surprise from his films and incorporated it into a world of his own in which he stars. He and very few others can make what can only be described as a work of art that each and every person leaves from feeling as if they were a part of history in the making. Taking with them a piece only as original as each person who viewed it. How one man can make you expect everything, receive nothing, and walk away feeling richer than ever is beyond me, but one would be a fool to pass upon this jewel.

lawbuntz No one will read this I know cuz there are so many comments...that fact alone shows that this fake documentary has fulfilled its purpose. I enjoyed the show because it was creative and seemingly put sooo much effort into something so meaningless. It's cool to see how people waste their time and money. I really wish the acting was more edgy../.more real instead of being typical drama stuff. I liked the interlacing of the real street interviews and the fake. To me, it was amazing that Johnny Depp and Adrian Brody played along...but I guess Night asked them to do him a favor...and I would do that for my buddy too. That should show that Night was the mastermind behind this. I really wish the average rating for this show would go up - it deserves at least a 5/10 for effort..at least

bob_found Definitely one of the most entertaining TV movies I've seen for a long time.I was shocked to see in a CNN report that some gutless fool had decided to demystify the film, stating that "this marketing strategy is not consistent with our policy at NBC." The reference to fans being upset to discover that they had watched a mockumentary was also surprising to me. Would it help them if they had an announcement before any film they watched stating that they were about to see a work of fiction? No doubt this would please Heresy who makes the ridiculous statement in his review on this site that the film should not have been passed off as a documentary at all. Well that's just brainless. Some things are best kept secret. Life would be boring without secrets, don't you think?

Daryl-7 It seems like some people are whining that this was probably fake. Huh? Of course it was fake. I would think anyone could tell that within minutes of the opening.But think about the idea. Either someone pitched this idea to M. Night or he thought of it himself. We need to do a "puff piece" on the upcoming movie "The Village" but, goddamn it, this is M. Night Shyamalan! We can't just do a normal thing - interview the actors, hype the movie, etc. (think Catwoman). "Oh, he's such a great director, y'know." "I loved working with her, she's so professional, y'know." "There was such great chemistry, blah, blah, blah." Y'know??Instead, we'll treat the whole puff piece as if it was an M. Night conspiracy story, except the conspiracy involves M. Night himself! Then we'll farm it out to the Sci Fi channel and pretend that it was SUPPOSED TO be a puff piece but then the director changed it in midstream to this expose on M. Night's personal story.It's genius, I think. They fit all the things that are noticeably about M. Night into the plot. Why does he live in Philly instead of L.A. like all the other directors? Why has he had such great success at such a young age? How does his Indian heritage play into his direction? Why is he so private? Why are his latest movies all so dark? Why does he write the scripts and direct?Congratulations to the creators of this fake-umentary. We loved every minute of it, and my view of the Sci Fi Channel just went up 150 points. You guys rock.As for the back-and-forth of whether it's fake? Get over it.
