Will audiences remain Split over M. Night Shyamalan?

Short answer, yes. Long answer, here in this episode. For starters: the newer generation or Millennials are unwitting to Shyamalan's filmmaking pedigree. They did not have to suffer or endure the turbulent times of the early 2000’s when Shyamalan made films consistently. People bought tickets wanting that good old feeling from The Sixth Sense and in return received Signs; which we learned alien hate is real, The Village; maybe too much twist in the twist ending; and Lady in the Water, too much talking, no ghosts.

Moviegoers today are unaware of the seesaw ride Shyamalan put us through after The Sixth Sense debut at the 2003 Cannes Festival (the movie tied with Captain Conan that year for the top prize). Shyamalan was heralded as the next Alfred Hitchcock or some offshoot of the famous British Master of Suspense. We expected each film he produced after Sixth Sense to frightened the bejeezus out of us with his shrillmatic style. However, that didn’t happen. The thrill was gone but not necessarily eliminated.
