People expected Mr. Shyamalan to revive and fight back beautifully after the heavy setback of "Water Demon", but he made a film that lowered the audience's IQ to curse all mankind... The film starts inexplicably and ends inexplicably, Interspersed with nothing new, the final conclusion is that "many phenomena in nature are inexplicable". How can all this be kept from swearing? ? The big characters at the beginning of the film emphasize that "Written, Produced & Directed by M. Night Shyamalan" this person has been living in his world and can't extricate himself...
