A downward spiral for Shyamalan

Rating: Null/10 (6 February 2003)

Night's movies have gone from excellent (6th Sense), to mediocre (Unbreakable), to this. This was by far the SLOWEST most incomplete film i've ever seen. If u're going to have an "alien invasion" film, then have it. If u're going to have a "spiritual enlightenment and restoration-of-faith" film, then have that. What you DON'T do *film students take note* is p****foot around those two genres, bounce them off each other (2 themes that have NOTHING in common, by the way), never really come to full terms with either one, and leave an incoherent mess in your wake.

Night's gotta do better, or he'll need to go back to Now You're Unemployed Film School...
