a must see thriller

Rating: 10/10 (4 August 2002)

M Night Shyamalan strikes again to scare the viewers. This movie does not have any scary characters or horror movielike stuff, but even then it scares the crowd. That's because the director has created such a superb atmosphere and built the tension that makes a huge impact on our minds. Also this movie makes people think about their beliefs and disbeliefs about god. It makes much higher impression than any other movie about aliens or a documentary about crop-circles. Mel Gibson and Joaquin Phoenix are both at their best at acting. The kids in movie are good too, and non-irritating unlike some other movies. In short this movie is a director's triumph over the audiance and Night Shyamalan has really made us scare throughout. He is making movies on the lines of Hitchcock, the master of suspense. Night truly deserves an Oscar. Mel too.
