Glass (2019) sets out to shatter the superhero paradigm. #Review
Closer in tone and intent to “Unbreakable” than its immediate predecessor “Split”, “Glass” sees filmmaker M Night Shyamalan returning to the world of comic book super heroics, not to homage or reimagine them, but to deconstruct them - especially their latest cinematic incarnations....

Good conclusion to the M. Night Shyamalan trilogy that started with Unbreakable and included Split.
A strong performance for Bruce Willis. James McAvoy revolutionized him self as an actor for this role (between the two movies he starred in) and Samuel L. Jackson was his usual awesome. Vera Famiga was great in her role as well.
Story culminated with a definitive conclusion (not always a given with Shyamalan) that actually had an unsettling nature to it. I highly recommend watching all three movies if you are going to watch Glass.

I have to say that the new movie, OLD, from M Night Shyamalan, had me intrigued when I first saw the trailer for it a while back so when the film finally had its release here in the UK on Friday (23rd July) I had to check it out at my local Cineworld.
If you are a dedicated follower/fan of Shyamalan then this is going to be a film that you will want to see on the big screen, don’t expect lots of action or any action at all in this movie it’s a slow-burning mystery/drama that keeps you guessing.

Another slab of high-concept tosh from M Night Shyamalan. Tourists on a remote beach find themselves subject to accelerated ageing. Senescence is one of the universal fears so you'd think there'd be fruitful material here for a horror film, but Shyamalan struggles to find a way to make dying of old age visually interesting or exciting, resulting in a schlocky film without much structure to it. Not the first film by this director to resemble an extended Twilight Zone episode, and he tries hard to make the revelation as to what's really going on credible, but in the end this is a film which doesn't make a great deal of sense, isn't especially frightening, and doesn't feel like it has much point to it.

The Craggus (360 KP) rated Split (2016) in Movies
Jan 23, 2019
Split (2017) is, ironically, a slyly connective work from M Night Shyamalan #Review
Powered by a terrific set of performances from James McAvoy, the film manages to explore the fascinating dramatic potential of dissociative identity disorder without feeling sensational or exploitative. McAvoy finds ways beyond mere costume changes to make each personality a character in their own right, both through vocal versatility and tremendous physicality, aided by a vulnerable but determined turn from Anya Taylor-Joy (“The Witch”) as Casey, one of the kidnapped girls who hides a dark secret of her own...

A typically odd film from M. Night Shyamalan. A group of people on Holiday end up at a Beach. It soon becomes apparent they are ageing rapidly, roughly a year per 30 minutes. Can they escape or stop this phenomenon from happening?
There are some interesting ideas that crop up as a result of the situation they find themselves in. Overall though it's a pretty basic storyline and run of events without a huge twist at the end as is with his other films. OK for a watch but not something I'd watch again.

"I see dead people ..."
So, this film is now nearly 25 years old.
I'd never seen it.
That was mainly because I'd had the twist spoilt for me when it first came out: I was at university, doing a course on film and fiction circa 2000, and the lecturer came out with "and so, as we all now know ..." (I didn't) ".. the twist in the film is that ..."
So, yeah, I saw little point in watching it after that.
I *had* seen a few of M Night Shyamalan other films that were released later ("Signs", "Unbreakable" or "The Happening", for instance), but never really thought they were anything above average.
None the less, I decided - when I came across this on Disney+ - that it was time to go right back to 1999, right back to before Shyamalan became known for his twists, just to see if the movie held up.
It did.
