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
But yeah lot of good ones. I have a few friends who host "First Friday Fright night in Phoenixville, PA. They show some good classic ones like Popcorn, Pumpkinhead, Poltergeist, The Warriors, Nightmare on Elm Street 3 & 4, Vampire Circus, From Dusk Til Dawn, My Bloody Valentine, Silent Night Deadly Night. This past month was Halloween III an d next month, Nov. 2 is Return Of The Living Dead (which I don't believe I've seen).
This January is not really a horror film per say, well I guess it can be considered one. Anyway they are showing both Grindhouse movies in their entirity.
February is Candyman (which I don't believe I have seen :oops: )
Tonight they played Candyman in 35mm print :thumbup: Pretty decent. Couple "jumping" scenes. Actually the one girl behind me jumped like 10 times The urban legend was kinda cool, and his gimmick was ok.
Actually it was a sequel, saw it tonight. Pretty good I thought. Also during the previews they had a trailer for the new Halloween movie (which I had no idea they were even doing one again)

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.
Kind of mean.
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.

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

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.
