Sixth Sense is a too one-time twist for me. It is kind of like watching Fate of the Furious after watching it once, Dom goes rogue, once you know why a re-watch is boring.

The Village is a bit one-time twist, but the whole facade of the village is much better than, "oh he's dead".

Reading that reddit, supposedly M Night mentioned that it wasn't about aliens so maybe most ppl just weren't pay attention at all until some fans brought it up. Supposedly 'Jeff, Who lives at home' refers to that movie as well. Anyway, now I gotta watch that and rewatch Signs

Speaking of M. Night, have you guys seen Old, yet? Thought it was a decent movie.

It was alright, but I'm still waiting for him to regain his old magic.

Jeff, Who lives at home is pretty good, if you like Jason Segel, who I'd describe as the anti-Marvel Comic Universe dude. So, for ppl who don't like explosions-laden movies every 5 seconds and want drama.

Can you find anywhere M Night officially said no aliens?

Here's a direct quote from M.Night during an interview. He didn't come out and say it directly but does talk about what the movie really is about. The one thing - love him or hate him - about M.Night is his movies are NEVER just cut and dry. It's not just a ghost movie if it's not just an alien invasion movie. He's always going much deeper than that.

I sometimes enjoy his movies but find the majority of them are lacking, at least for me.

I've seen the clip of the bus fight but switched off when he was going to do the dracula bit with the straw, I won't see it.

I'm sure you can get it for free....it's entertaining but maybe not your cuppa.

tcphoto · 01-23-2022, 07:28 PM

I rented it shortly after release and enjoyed it, Christopher Lloyd was very good in it also.

But that's a real living saving procedure.

Was a super good movie that even my wife enjoyed. HBO Max has it if people don't want to rent.
