Good Night

Rating: Null/10 (31 July 2004)

the village is shyamalan inventing a whole new playing field of storytelling. when he leaves one realm of reality, he enters another - both of which leave us feeling perpetually unsafe. just as we were about to start laughing at the gullibility of the villagers, we're whipped into the same frenzy, only in a world where monsters are even less believable. it's very clever and risky, and such is what has kept night on my a-list for misunderstood/under-appreciated filmmakers after all these years.
however, in all honesty, i'm getting sick of letting night off the hook and blaming his insulting tendency to explain every damn twist on Hollywood. but i'm afraid i'll remain his humble disciple, arguing with my friends that he really is a genius.
do you think he'd agree to re-edit the film with fewer explanations so as to increase rewatchability?
