Shyamalan back on form
Considering Shyamalan hasn't made a great film since Unbreakable, I really hadn't been expecting much from this and I'm pleased to say I was proved wrong.

This is a great return to form. James McAvoy puts in a fantastic turn as the multiple personalities, and the story itself is tense and interesting. The twist at the end was good, although I did find the general ending itself (prior to the twist) was a little disappointing but not enough to ruin the film.

Not your average sci-fi
This isn't your average action filled sci-fi, and it's quite slow paced, however it's a great original take on first contact. The effects are fantastic and there's a very strong performance from Amy Adams who is probably my favourite actress at the moment. The ending and twist was also fantastic. Not everyone would agree on this as it can be seen as confusing, but I thought it was a great way to end and was completely unexpected.

Plot twist
Dark
Excellent detective
The death of a woman in a bath tub starts the story off and it unravels from then. The secrets really dont stay buried.

Kim Stone is a phenomenal detective, very believable and this first case really hits home. The plot is dark and twisted, it has you on tenter hooks wondering who done it throughout. The list of suspects is long but the writing enables you to follow along well.

Really didnt see the twist at the end after all the drama.

Fun look at Christmas traditions with Amelia's literal twist. Nothing out of the ordinary for the series, but still fun.

Rooting for the kid all the way on this one. The big plot twist is surprisingly predictable but still a decent story. The madness of the end happens so fast and is over so fast it's hard to digest
