3 strikes Shyamalan is out...

Rating: 3/10 (6 February 2005)

I was disappointed after seeing the sixth sense, even more after signs and after having seen the village I've decided to avoid everything the name Shyamalan is related to. Each and every time we (the potential audience) is told that it will be a scary movie. The more we believe this, the bigger the disappointment. There is not a single scary moment in any of Shyamalan's movies, least of all this one. Sure it's got atmosphere (hence the 3 rather than a 1), but -- spoiler alert! -- not for a second I could seriously believe that there were evil creatures in the woods... No for me this was the third strike for Shyamalan - his last movie I've taken the time for to watch. If I want to see a scary movie, I'll go see / rent something truly scary.
