    Visually beautiful. The end got me though. It left me irritated, dammit.

    And you can’t go wrong with the actors, at all.

    It was genius that it was completely marketed as a monster movie, a slasher horror movie with scary monsters, which leaves a lot of the old timey colonial stuff and the ending completely disappointing to a lot of people expecting something else.  That was the correct way to do it.

    I think it's a great work.  I love the story.  Love the ending too. 


    People also love to poop on shyamalan just because.  They put everything up against the surprise in the sixth sense and always over-guess the ending and have unrealistic expectations.

    I still call him that.
    I like the 3 movie story of Unbreakable

    I haven't liked one of his films yet, but I haven't seen all of them either. Peeps tell me I'd dig Unbreakable.

    I did enjoy the TV series he had a few years back, Whispering Pines, but I think he had to adhere to some source material for that one.

    It looks like that study really emphasized jump-scares, which is a pet peeve of mine when over-done as a crutch in horror movies, and even dubbing in the artificial high-pitched 'violin screech' noise to make you jump more.

    I kept waiting for Courtney Cox to take off her mask.

    OK, you are right.  No reason to be mean about it --- I can amend to just say that it is kind of startling to look at what she has done with her plastic surgery.

    She has stated though, I believe, that she overdid things and removed it feeling confident to be aging. 

    Not saying that aged looks shows up in the trailer.

    Her choice to look however she wants.  I can be startled/scared of that look, but she is certainly free to look how she pleases. 
    (Had no idea that she had additional surgery or any of that stuff...I'm not much of a fan.)

    Dave will have a better guess.  I have not watched the original in some time.
