M. Night's Final Trickery

Rating: 7/10 (8 March 2017)

The Sixth Sense, Unbreakable, and Signs are three terrific suspense/mystery flicks from director M. Night Shyamalan. Lady In The Water and The Happening are two of the worst. The Village falls right in the middle; the final time that M. Night truly entranced us at the theater.
I wish I could give you a little plot summary, but this is the type of film where the less known about it the better. I will say this: Whereas today's "wonderboy" director JJ Abrams is all about time travel and relative physics concepts, M. Night's trademark was misdirection. You think this movie is about one thing, but in the end it is 180-degrees of surprise.
Overall, this is a suspenseful, mysterious film that will have you on the edge of your seat. Enjoy the 104 minutes while you can, though, as after this effort M. Night was never quite the same.
