Poetical Poltergeist
Precise and cold hearted
That's M. Knights fault. He wanted a gory Rated R 50s B movie? He fukked up with the tone and delivery if that's what he wanted to do.Its Shyamalan's take on the 50's B Movie genre. He was going for something along the lines of 'The Blob' or 'Invasion Of The Body Snatchers'. Shyamalan knew what he was doing, he just didn't let the average viewer in on the joke.
Not that its an amazing film, but a lot of the hate for it is based on people thinking that its supposed to be entirely serious.
