M. Night Shyamalan does it again!

Rating: 10/10 (30 December 2004)

After his great film "Signs," I wasn't sure if he'd EVER be able to reach the same level of excellence, let alone top himself! I'm delighted that he succeeded in crafting a film of such great psychological depth that is less a horror film than, as somebody said, a character study.
As you'd expect, the film has the sort of twist in it that we've come to expect from this magnificent Director! He knows how to use it and surprises the viewer in the same way that Hitchcock did! Shyamalan understands psychology like few other directors do, and he's got great actors in this too! Joaquin Phoenix is HOT and is going to be my FAVE actor soon! If you dislike this beautifully photographed work of real Art, you just don't get it! It can't be appreciated unless you're willing to really think about what you're experiencing, not just seeing!
