Movies M Night Shyamalan's daughter is every bit the hack her father is

With a last name like "shame-o-lane", they, both father and daughter, pretty much had no chance.
 
I’m not going to throw shade at Ishana Night Shyamalan.

As someone who wants to be a director myself, I get that having a famous parent, like hers, can definitely give her an edge in the industry.

Sure, it might be easier for her because of that, but I’m not going to hate on her for it.

I haven’t had a film in theaters yet, haven’t been to film school, and haven’t directed anything, not a movie, a TV show, a music video or even a soap commercial, so more power to her.

I'll probably never watch the movie, but it has a parrot in it named Darwin, so that's good enough for me.

M Night Shyamalan's daughter is now making movies and they're awful.

It's like he only let her watch his worst movies growing up. All the worst aspects of his movies rolled into one film.

Truly awful.



Avoid.

Kathleen Kennedy just hired her to write & direct the next Star Wars show.
 
Wait...

What's wrong with Manoj Nelliyattu Shyamalan and why is everyone hating on him?
 
Furthermore, it’s definitely tough to come up with something completely new in the horror genre.

Most of the core ideas have been explored pretty thoroughly by now.

Directors aren’t going to reinvent the wheel, but they can put a fresh spin on it.

This movie, which is based on a book, might feel familiar since there are other movies and books with similar themes but different settings.

I can imagine that coming up with something truly unique in horror must be really challenging.
 
I don't think M Kinght is a hack, that to me would be a work to order kind of director. He does clearly have a very individual style to his work, its just he ran out of steam pretty quickly and has ended up doing diminishing returns on the same kind of thing for 20+ years.
 
Better or worse than every super hero movie? The trailer makes it look decent but with obviously tired themes and devices. Might be worth pirating...

Oh, absolutely, it's such a drag striving to be a decent human being, working on self-improvement by resisting the urge to spew unnecessary negativity, especially about things that don't impact my life at all.

Such a bummer... I know.
 
I am a fan of M. Night. He has a few duds but has enough hits that I am ok with the duds. Signs was GREAT. One of Gibson's best performances. The Sixth Sense was GREAT. That movie blew people away when it came out. Osment got an Oscar nom for it. I would rather watch a bad M.Night movie than a movie like Fast and Furious or anything with The Rock.

Whether the film is good or not is subjective... opinions are ultimately irrelevant.

Just because someone dislikes it and expresses that opinion doesn't make it definitive, it simply means that individual did not enjoy it.

It's entirely possible to dislike a film without disparaging its director, which is my main point, so whether I have seen the movie or not is inconsequential.

Well the movie bombed and has pretty universally bad reviews.

And the issue with this particular movie isn't that it's bad. It's that it's utterly pathetic to make a movie that is literally a carbon copy of your dad's movies.

That's not art. It's anti-art.
