This latest offering from that Shyamalan bloke seems quite promising. Hopefully will have more of a resemblense(sp?) to the sixth sense in meaning that it is good. A masterpiece infact. Unlike unbreakable which seems to receive about 4 stars when its on tv and it actually sucks. Mr Shyamalan must have bribed those tv people. Unfortunately its only going to be a 12A. So unless its quite psychological I doubt their will be any wet pants as people exit the cinema. So what does everyone think about this. Good or bad?

I loved Signs, even more than Sixth Sense. Signs is right up there in my film esteem. Unbreakable isn't quite in the league of the other two, although I love Crazy Hair Sammy L mocking his comic shop customers.
The Village looks appealing, but, like Snuggly said, it's got to the point where you're looking for a twist all film. He should just make a linear film, then when people (i.e Americans) say "Hey, where's the twist?", he goes "Ah, that is the twist." Then they go "...Hmm", not really understanding, get back in the station-wagon and drive to the nearest snack shop.
M Night and Fincher should team up and make a film that is so very confusing and has twists very five minutes.

Has anyone else noticed that nearly all the latest blockbusters are watering down its content? Alien vs Predator is goin to be a 12, so Ive heard, imagine that, no gore or anything! Spiderman 2 was a PG/12. Resident evil 2 will be a 12. When was the last time a film was specifically aimed at the younger audience, films nowadays are too complex for them to understand anyway so why bother. Bring back the 18 ratings!!!!!!!!!!
something about dont go into the woods, a picture in amagazine showed a door with a blood splatter on it. oohhhhh. Intrigued?
I'll be going to see it. Ive enjoyed his other films, Although Unbreakable did move slower than a dead turnip.
I though Signs was a lot better than most people make out.
I dont even know what this new one is about really, hope its good tho.

Edit: Whoops, *SPOILERS*
I want to hate M Night Shyamalan films, but I actually quite like them. But you can watch them once and that's it, due to the incredibly sluggish pacing. People kept on saying to me 'Oh, you have to watch the Sixth Sense twice, it's so much better the second time'. Why? Does something new happen when you've seen it twice? Bruce Willis dies, comes back as a ghost and solves crime with Forrest Gump Jr. Same thing as the first time.
Unbreakable is alright, but the payoff wasn't worth the 2hr+ wait to get there. There's something in inherently wrong with films where you're sitting there waiting for a big twist at the end, because it totally takes away any shock value the film might have had. With Unbreakable, you felt like you had to sit through to the end rather than actually enjoying it.
Signs... well, I like Signs. I like the realistic slant on aliens coming to Earth, I like the video sightings of the aliens on the news and I liked the crop circle element to it. Again, the suspense was better than the actual payoff, but that shot of the alien in the reflection of the TV was excellent. But the ending was retarded, taking a big whizz over everything he had just achieved. What kind of idiot aliens are they?
Will still go see The Village, even though I'll be questioning every character and every plot point while waiting for the inevitable 'shock twist' at the end.
He's like Hitchcock, but about 1/10th as good. Will be nice if he continues doing these horror stories though, too often you get a director who ventures into unknown territories with a romantic comedy or political drama, before they realise the reason they don't do those films is because they're crap at them.
