Dmitry from 'The Psych Effect Podcast' and Sarah from 'Weird Horizon' join Sean to discuss the films of M. Night Shyamalan.

We discuss:

-The Sixth Sense (1999).

-Unbreakable (2000).

-Signs (2002).

-The Village (2004).

-Lady in the Water (2006).

Raised Questions:

-How many different noises can Dmitry use to show his disgust and distain?

-Did The Sixth Sense set the bar too high, and did that work against him?

-Does Shyamalan try to be too dramatic or meaningful?

-Did Unbreakable (2000) suffer from being released so soon after The Sixth Sense (1999)?

-Did X-Men (2000) affect the reception to Unbreakable?

-Do you love or loathe Signs (2002)?

-What's the message?

-Which film copped out more, Signs (2002) or I Am Legend (2008)?

-Do we need to bring in alien HR?

-How did Lady in the Water (2006) end a relationship?

-Is the twist ending of The Village (2004) plausible?

-Is Shyamalan's biggest weakness also his biggest strength?

Notes:

-No dogs were harmed for real Signs (2002).The dog death in the film is not real. Review It Yourself advocates only the best of care for animals.

-Bryce Dallas Howard was just 25 when she was in Lady in the Water (2006)!
