2 years after his moderately successful quasi-period piece, The Village, the seemingly unstoppable master of thrills turns his previous plot on its head. Blending fairy tales with reality--Shyamalan attempts mythical world-building with an all star cast. At the time of the release of the film it was critically panned and many consider this to be the beginning of the end for Shyamalan (until his new beginning).

Join Corbin and Allen as they review Lady in the Water to find out!
