I went to go see the new M. Night Shyamalan film Friday night because Rebecca was dying to go see it.  I, on the other hand, was a bit apprehensive due to several negative remarks I had already caught wind of.  Plus, let’s face it, Shyamalan is a quirky director with a hit-and-miss record.  I, and most of the free world, loved 1999’s The Sixth Sense.  2000’s Unbreakable was entertaining, I thoroughly enjoyed 2002’s Signs but was not at all impressed with 2004’s The Village - I thought that one would have been better as a half-hour episode of The Twilight Zone.  As for 2006’s Lady in the Water, I’m still not sure how I feel about that one as it was so-so.

But I have to say I actually enjoyed the new Shayamalan film despite the obvious statement the director is making with the movie.  I, of course, loved the rather gruesome death scenes as Shyamalan has apparently developed a little taste for gore in this one!  As is par for the course with a Shyamalan film, I can’t really say much more without spoiling the movie, so I’ll just have to be as vague and ambiguous as his themes tend to be.
