How dare you

Rating: Null/10 (23 November 2004)

Once again Shyamalan uses cheap thrills and flimsy plot twists to thrill audiences. This time however he goes that extra mile to rip the audience off.
I found this movie to be disappointing on so many levels I will never see another Shyamalan film again. The backbone of the movie is pure hype. The movie itself is dry and emotionless. Shyamalan has this aspect to his films where he thinks if the actors all whisper their lines it will entice and please the audiences. He thinks wrong. I'm tired of the actors in his films whispering, I wanted to scream by the end of this film.
The films big plot twist (which is supposed to make the audience gasp), made me laugh. The ending was absurd and served to destroy the essence of the rest of the film, which was tolerable at best. It's fine to be pleasantly deceived in a film, I.E the plot twist in The Sixth Sense, but this film is like eating a great sandwich only to find a huge hair in the center, makes you want to puke up the rest of the sandwich. Same goes for this film, by the end you'll wish you never saw the rest of it. You'll see what I mean if you are brainless enough to rent this film.
As for the rest of you who swear by Shyamalan's directing, I'd love to see the shrines you have in your homes paying homage to a talentless director.
