Shyamalan Shines...Nuff said.

Rating: Null/10 (11 June 2002)

CONTAINS SPOILER!!!! Shyamalan's what cinematography & direction is all about (imho). When its lights camera, action he sure does shine on such a low techno level! Fear to me in a film, is subtly creeping up and greeting you like an acquaintance would. Utter brilliance in writing casting & delivering us a mane stander! Its nailed on the nose in this film, no spooks' the dead look real boy do they ever, each one with a fervor and voice all of there own. HELP I saw this film alone, at dusk, and I was terrified to go to the bathroom. I can't recall a film that has ever done that to me since, Shining.
Beautifully crafted (thoughtful) camera angles (See Unbreakable also), seamless integration of the dead and living, I really didn't know the good doctor was in the grips of Rigor mortis till the very end. Set design right down to the miniscule looked totally believable. I cant think of anyone who hassent seen this film yet, but if you have not add it to you're collection its always worth a second look. Two thumbs two toes and my hair all standing up on this one.
