Am I about to pee myself? I bought it today, watching after the rebel billionaire.

Signs scared the crap out of me.

Like all of his movies you'll sit there and go, "whoaaaaaaa" in a serious Keanu way. He's a very querky writer/movie maker.

i love how M. Night Shamalan (sp) puts a secret twist in all of his movies!

wow... i remember signs... that was one amazing movie. that part when joaquin phoenix is in the closet watching the news on the t.v., and they show that alien pass by the camera during a party in south america was one of the most chilling moments i had experienced during a movie. my body went totally hot! and the reaction that phoenix had made it even more chilling. darn... i wanna watch that movie again lol

Didn't see the Village yet.

Saw S.S in theater, figured the twist out in the opening five minutes, the rest of the movie was not very good once I knew the twist.

Unbreakable is my favorite so far. Little slow but the twist is the best he has done IMO.

Didn't like most of Signs either. It had its moments though.


Does he continue his "fear of water" theme in The Village?

Signs was great! So was the sixth sense. I didn't care for unbreakable.

The twist in this movie is going to leave you saying- WHAT IN THE FREAKING HADES- I assure you it's not what you think. You must see to believe, cause I ain't spillin.

I think M Knight is becoming old hat. I didn't see the village but when my firned told me the story without reveiling the twist end I looked at him and told him the twist..and he just looked at me blankly

Signs I thought was boring and what alien in the universe that is afraid of water will and on a planet that is 75% of the stuff. Too many plot holes for me.

as for sixth and unbreakable i dug those..but the others bah no worth it to me

Todays horror movies are not what horror movied used to be. They're so predictable. I went to see Darkness few weeks ago. One of the worst movies I ever saw in my life. It was so predictable. Happy family moves to a house which holds some creepy secrets. Then lights starts to switch off, you heard some weird noise, you see creepy guy outside the house and so on.

I recently got Frankenstein Collection, Dracula Collection, Wolfman Collection, and Invisible Man Collection (about 20 movies total for about $80). Now those are real horrors.

I saw the ad on TV. Regardless, it's nice to see Michael K back doing movies.
