Another messed-up tale retold by M. Night Shyamalan

The movies are O.K. as far as making movies. It is important to know that the stories are pilfered from some of the best writers and modified for the big screen by eliminating many of the important points of the story for specularity. In this case, the story is from a graphic novel, “Sandcastle” by Frederik Peeters and Pierre Oscar Levy. Just as his movie “The Village” (2004) was from a book titled “Running Out of Time” by Margaret Peterson Haddix. Now, if we skip the source of the story, we come up with another M. Night Shyamalan movie creation, which was also contributed to by his offspring, thus keeping it in the family. We know about the story in general before watching the movie. A family goes to a secluded beach that has a thing about aging people rapidly. So now we have to find out why they would do so and how this is corrected. If it is corrected. And is there some cabal behind the whole thing, or is it just a coincidence? There are lots of beautiful scenes of surf and sand. This was filmed at El Valle in the Dominican Republic. If you look closely, you can see the H-i-t-c-h-c-o-c-k-i-a-n M. Night Shyamalan cameo. If you listen closely, you will hear the theme song sung by his daughter

Just Plain Stupid

This is a miserable, pretentious, disturbing movie that makes no sense at all. The writer/director is so full of himself he cannot even see the exploitation in his weird, degenerative irony. I don’t have any interest in watching people suffer on the back of the allegedly supernatural. The premise is flawed end to end.
