Why do they let this man make movies

Rating: Null/10 (29 August 2004)

I really have to wonder who is deciding to waste their money letting M. Night Shamalayan make his movies. I have to say that since the sixth sense his movies have gone downhill rapidly. Unbreakable was good but not up to the standards of the sixth sense. Then there was the signs, which was a film that just kept building and building the tension...and went absolutely nowhere. I must say that when I saw the trailers for the village, I actually thought that he may have made some kind of an effort......oh i was wrong. It, as M Night seems to master, builds itself up and up and once again has an extremely disappointing climax....(if you can even call it a climax). If he thinks he's clever with his fetish of the colour red, to be honest it's just starting to get boring. I can honestly say I find nothing redeeming about this film (other than some very good acting by certain members of the cast)...but from a writing, directing and producing point of view I think M. Night should retire from filmaking before the funders realize that he isn't capable of recreating the success of the sixth sense
