THE BEACH — Writer and director M. Night Shyamalan is a polarizing filmmaker. Depending on who you talk to you're either going to find someone who loves his work or maybe someone who thinks he's a one-hit wonder with nothing of substance since his breakout film "The Sixth Sense."
Love him or hate him, Shyamalan is back with his latest thriller, "Old" now in theaters. The movie is based on a French graphic novel titled "Sandcastle" and weaves a tale of strangers trapped on a secluded beach who find they are aging at a rapid rate.
I for one have been a Shyamalan fan for a long time. I feel he lost his way with a string of films starting with "The Happening." Which means I'm one of a handful of people who really enjoyed "Lady in the Water." So, overall I am a supporter and have really enjoyed his last three films, "The Visit," Split" and "Glass." For those reasons it's even harder for me to say I did not enjoy "Old" even though I really wanted to.
