Apparently some of it (especially the ending) is also pretty similar to an episode of The Twilight Zone from the 60s. I've never seen the movie, but nothing I've heard about it sounds terribly original, it's all vaguely similar to other TV shows and comics... which actually probably helps M. Night in any lawsuit because if the novel is as similar as it sounds then it's not terribly original either.
