I hate Shymalan

Rating: Null/10 (31 August 2004)

He thinks he's being clever with his twists, he's really pissing off his audience. You can only go to the well so many times, and with this tripe piece of crap, it might just have hit too many. He puts his name above the title as if he starred, shot, edited, wrote, costumed, production designed, directed, etc., etc. this picture. And finally, the including himself in the movie that's 'supposed' to be an homage to Alfred Hitchcock. He thinks he's the next Hitchcock, and he's got a long way to go for that.
Now, back to the picture. I was more interested in the Village when I actually thought there were monsters in the woods. I lost all interest afterward. I think that M. Night Shymalan is capable of making a good movie, if he stops thinking that he's smarter than the audience.
