Night Shyamalan’s craft is progressively deteriorating
TweetI loved “The Sixth Sense”. So with high expectations i saw ” Unbreakable” and “Signs” and felt that Night’s craft was progressively deteriorating. Haven’t seen “Village”, but judging from the reviews, it seems his craft has deteriorated further. Night has even been accused of plagiarism now. However something that Night has progressively improved is in his ability to create pre-release hype. I remember the venerable New York Times carrying an article on Signs in their weekend magazine. I couldn’t locate the article on the web. Clearly that helped build up the hype. For “The Village”, he managed to have a program telecast on USA purportedly a scoop but apparently it was rigged. Don’t think anyone in hollywood comes close to Night in this department. I watched the USA Network program thinking it was true. How gullible ! Here is a link for those who didn’t know about this.
