Is this streaming anywhere. I'm not going into a movie theater with people possibly carrying the delta variant. But I do want to watch this.

M. Night Shyamalan OLD reviews.

apparently there is a twist. the two kids (not the pregnant blonde but the red head and the guy from the other scary movie) survive by remembering how the owner said something about coral. they find it, swim under it, and are transported off the island. Sounds incredibly lame.
I thought there was a chance for some good head fakes at least. I like films that play with the audience and that's his shtick.
The first review I saw was this:
Apparently, the trailer for this movie reveals A LOT of stuff. A bit too much according to this video. So watch the trailer only if you're ok with this.

It isn't a twist, it just the end of the movie. I actually liked the ending. But in the end it is just an okay movie with some bad CGI.
Spoiler tag it for me? I can forsee one part be a little iffy but they handled it with taste?
I liked glass, ending was a little bit dumb. But overall I enjoyed the trilogy of those movies. Kind of stinks that I breakable and split were just that damn good and glass kind of whimpers. But it was still really enjoyable. Guess that means I'll enjoy this
was OG ending still about resort doing medicinal tests on people trapped there?
they all die in the novel, no explanation of the island from what i've heard
ah, so there isn't the secret medical clinic, just "we grow old here and die?" If that is the case, I like them adding not a reason for the beach to be there but a reason for people to be brought there.
Fwiw the original comic was going to have a different ending, but the author changed it because
. Based upon the comments above I wonder if the film's ending is closer to the original planned ending or is something Shyamalan/his writers came up with.
if a character escaped/survived then there would have to be an explanation for what was happening and why it was happening. The author instead changed it to an ending where everyone just dies

This has pushed me over the edge in finally watching another M. Night film.

I'm back from it. I thought it was pretty good!
There's a nice bit of Junji Ito-lite body horror in there.

Just got back from this. I've only seen the unbreakable trilogy, so I didn't know what to expect. This was decent. Tons of cringey moments, but they all tried. This is a good amc a list or Netflix flick. There was a line in the movie that had all the black people dying. It was a great moment.
The calcium lady's bone problem in the cave was hilarious.

What were those for you? I didnt really have a problem with anything except that rapper's name. That was stupid.
Edit: and the pharmaceutical explanation being a bit too spelled out.
as for the ending I was half expecting the helicopter pilot to black out and them to crash back onto the beach.
That, the scene in the tent, and everyone throwing out ideas of what could be going on. Idk if it was the dialogue or the delivery, but those scenes didn't land with me.
This might his weirdest movie. It's definitely full on Night and more comparable to the Village, kinda? It's shot incredibly well and even the shots keep you off kilter. It's filmed a bit like Servant and sound design is incredible. I'll put it this way, if you have a problem his style, dialogue, and tone you aren't going to like this, because he cranks it up here. 😂
Ditto, man almost ruined avatar for me so I need to see a damn masterpiece before I give him my money
Gizmodo's review loved it. But they don't have a score it. Anything for GG Bernal. The core premise sounds really interesting
Servant has been really good so I know MNight can still be good

Putting the Hereditary guy's mole on the other actors was probably the movie's most impressive effect 😄
Just bought and read the original Sandcastle comic and I prefer the movie.
The translation to English seemed a bit clunky, and I just got a lot more humanity from Bernal and Krieps at least.
Also the film had 100% less child nudity.

Like every M Night 'twist' film. Like the only thing I remember about The Village is the twist too. Because everything before the twists is just filler.
It a lot of the expected Shyamalan-isms (clunky dialogue, an over-extended ending), but I enjoyed it quite a bit. Gets way more fucked up than I was expecting and kept me intrigued all the way to the finish line.
Theaters only. It'll probably be on VOD in 30-45 days though.
It's very bad. I liked it a lot.
Everyone in the theatre (which admittedly wasn't very full) was laughing throughout.
Go in blind! You will 100% have a good time

I loved Glass and this is more Village with a dash of The Happening, Twilight Zone, and mixed in with a 60-70's thriller vibe? It's really it's own unique feel and he goes hog wild on camera techniques that actually are pretty damn effective!
I would LOVE a B&W version if this.
First half is pretty good, even if it is a bit too no budget.
Second half just completely shits the bed and is too dumb.
I honestly have no idea if this guy is a good film maker. So much of this movie is just bad. But it does have cool concept and some cool bits, but god damn is it rough.

Saw it last night. Sure was.... interesting. Some good ideas, creepy moments and genuinely funny stuff in between scenes of bizarre acting choices and terrible dialogue. Not entirely sure what to think of it. I think it's good if you don't take it too seriously.
