The only Shyamalan movie worth watching was The Visit, and maybe Split.

Watching how Hollywood has evolved in that time has left him deeply disillusioned.

> "If you look at the industry right now... there are movies that feel incestuous... It's just Hollywood talking to themselves," he told AFP.

> "And then there are movies where they're saying: the audience is dumb so we're going to take all the soul out and we're just going to do it by numbers," he said. "These are signs of complete dysfunction."

Wholeheartedly agree with him. Hollywood is mostly comic book superhero Marvel and DC Comics and Disney movies on repeat. Makes my stomach turn.

Unbreakable was the only film that I was so disappointed by that I walked out of the cinema halfway through the film…

Well his “The Happening” was not happening, but others were really good. The Village is tops for me.

Glad to hear someone tell Hollywood they are for the most part lame. Between superhero’s and ridiculous woke Amazon and the like shows, not sure how or if they will ever find themselves again.

No, perhaps ya don't know about Shyamalan

He's not exactly an in-demand director nowadays, especially after what he did to Avatar The Last Airbender
