Nice try M. Night...

Rating: 5/10 (10 January 2017)

Another great plot line executed in questionable way after questionable way. The films potential for cinema greatness can be sensed the entire time. Slow beginning, as per usual, but interestingly we're dropped into this charmingly colonial "village" with some seemingly super natural occurrences surrounding our typical Hollywood white washed group of villagers. The bad monster has a couple seriously suspenseful scenes thanks to who ever designed it's ominous "witch creature" look, but take a few steps closer, the spine-tingle wears off, and you realize that this monster comes off as more laughable than ghoulish. Throw in some sub-par acting and a lazy last minute plot twist and you've got a M. Night Shyamalalalan special!
