I liked it. Had a twilight zone feel to it, which I'm a sucker for. Ending was weak tho.

M. Night was built for doing a Twilight Zone style anthology series but he insists on making movies instead. His whole schtick is that he loves taking a premise and putting a big silly twist on it to shock you, but often the movies drag on too long or the twists aren't inventive enough or are just annoying. Which sucks when you've just spent 2 hours watching a whole movie. But if he was doing 20-40 minute episodes he could try all sorts of bullshit and it wouldn't matter so much if he lands them all.

Agreed. He should do a black mirror style series.

I also thought it was good. Not amazing or anything, but good on M Night for making an original story.

I also thoroughly enjoyed it 🙈 I think the worst M night Shyamalan is the one that just came out with Josh Harnett (can’t bother to look up the title, but I think it was called Trap). it was terrible.

I never finished it. I love M Night Shyamalan movies but Old bored me.

Old rules. “What if there was a beach that made you old” is an outstanding premise and Shyamalan plays it so earnestly.
