Bad Episode of The Twilight Zone

Rating: Null/10 (2 August 2004)

This movie was neither original nor clever. M. Night Shyamalan includes, as he always does, the big secret. There were actually two secrets in this film. The first was easy to foresee. The second I didn't see coming. Just because the audience didn't see it coming doesn't make it a good ending.
There are several plot holes that never get filled. A budding romance between two characters that goes nowhere (not Phoenix & Howard). Other holes would have to have spoiler disclaimers. Some plot lines have very lame or obligatory explanations. Others simply never get explained at all.
Finally, the movie just ends. It's like they ran out of money, or film. It just ends.
I was in an almost packed theater. The ending was met by a sea of groans. To Shyamalan's credit, one person started clapping. But that person was met with even louder groans. This is the first non-comedy that I felt like laughing at when it was over.
I will more than likely see his next movie, but this was a STINKER.
2.65 out of 10 stars.
