What must M. Night do to get some respect around here? Make a movie about a bored, broken family that experiences some emotional trauma?

Machine Head started their career with 1994's Burn My Eyes, which went on to become one of the seminal metal albums of the decade. That success proved hard to live up to. The band caught criticism from metal fans on their next three discs for a shift to a more radio-friendly, hard rock sound.
