It definitely felt like a return to form stylistically. One thing I always appreciated about Shyamalan was his classical skill as a director, and that's back in action here.Kaius wrote:I almost posted that it reminded me of Signs, or that it was a return to that form, but then I didn't.
There was a ton of suspense just in the way shits were framed or angled, or how long he lingered on a subject. I was on the edge of my seat for a good portion of the movie, and one scene (I can't remember which now) actually made my heart jump.LoathedVermin72 wrote:It definitely felt like a return to form stylistically.

You're talking about Filth, which I'm trying to get through right now. It's not borderline ridiculous - it's pretty much jumped that border and sprinted away from it as fast as possible.Orpheus wrote:McAvoy has chosen some really bizarre projects.
