SHAMALAMADINGDONG always tries to make a specific type of movie, very difficult to pull off, that of horror/suspense/fantasy. I give him major credit for attempting it. His cinematography is always beautiful and his movies look good, but they just do not hold up as stories.
I enjoyed sixth sense a lot when I saw it. The alien one was 50/50, lady in the water was weird and I liked about 1/3 of it. I REALLY LIKE Unbreakable. The village one was terrible.
but at least he goes for something. Joel Schumaker is just yr typical big bang explosives popcorn extravaganza director.
