Director's Trademarks
(2017)

Important and Artistic
I simply love this series of videos, and encourage IMDB to continue making them. They show how directors use the same techniques in many of their movies, and form their personal style. Every episode has been a visual treat, and the latest episode featuring M. Night Shyamalan is no different. Love or hate his films, you've got to give credit where credit is due. Shyamalan uses some incredible camera shots, plot themes, and atmospherical tension in almost every movie he makes. This video showcases this quickly and effectively.

I would love to see IMDB eventually tackle Alfred Hitchcock, Terrence Malick, Frank Capra, John Ford, Orson Welles, Billy Wilder, Fritz Lang, and Francis Ford Coppola. Looking forward to the next episode!

After Last Season
(2009)

An Interesting Watch
There is no doubt about it, this movie was very poorly made. Aside from its awful technical aspects, it may appear to be flat out boring. Watch this movie. It is so terrible it's actual brilliant, bringing a Sixth Sense kind of vibe to any audience it can find. The plot of After Last Season is so strange that it's easy to get lost in it. It's unnerving, mysterious, and unique in its own special way. I found myself hooked after about 30 minutes, and couldn't wait to see how it ended. I doubt if anyone could decipher the film's true meaning, but nonetheless it was a fun watch. In a way, the bad set pieces and poorly lit shots keep you interested, and the ending is so strange that you almost want to watch it again. I'm not joking. Watch After Last Season and you'll never forget it.
