Very underrated and well done movie

Rating: Null/10 (1 October 2001)

Most of the negative comments seem to start with, "I was expecting the Sixth Sense," or "I was expecting it to be a comic book movie like so and so..."
Geez, leave your expectations at the door. I bet if many of you had never seen the Sixth Sense you would just love this movie. Go into the movie with the baggage of a preconceived idea of what it's supposed to be and you will no doubt ruin it for yourself.
M. Night is clearly a student of the classic directors -- Hitchcock, Welles, Kubrick. Many of their techniques can be seen in this movie.
If you appreciate unspoken subtleties and beautiful cinematography of these master directors, you will appreciate M. Night's efforts. He does an excellent job and will someday be spoken of in the same breath as the 3 mentioned above.
The ending of this movie freakin' ruled. I only wish I could have been in the theatre to have seen this one. I've seen this one about 8 times now. And still not tired of it.
Poor M. Night Shyamalan is simply a victim of his own success, and a standards bar that he himself has set very very high.
GREAT MOVIE 8/10
