I barely made it 30mins into the film with the cringe acting, boring pace and how blatantly M. Night is just a way to push tickets. The Visit, Knock at the Cabin, all very confined locations (a single house through a found footage angle, a bunch of people standing in a cabin talking for an hour) are all VERY cheap to produce, and his name still gets people in seats, meaning even if they don't get THAT many people in, the film still makes a decent profit.
Dave Batista: “Unless one of you willingly sacrifices yourself, hundreds of millions of men, women and children die every few hours, including us. Please make the hard choice for the sake of all humanity.”
Gay guy: “Fuck the world! They can all die! Aren’t we such good and moral people! 😊”
The Sixth Sense is his best film. Probably because he had a lot of people telling him what to do and what not to do.
Film is dumb
Give us your children and we can avert climate disaster. (Pulls the heart out then chops the head)
But there really should have been at least one person questioning why the intruders have to kill each other. It should have been a Final Destination thing where some freak accident kills them as a sign or something. Then they could ask more questions.
A big problem was that there wasn't a mystery. It was obvious that the destruction was real. I was hoping the intruders would show the drawings they mentioned to show that was was happening was predicted ("It's just like my dreams!").
There's just a bunch of little bad decisions from a writing standpoint.
I mean kind of like those killer mirror movies where you look in the mirror and whatnot etc.
There is no Pestilence Horseman. That is a product of popculture.
There wasn't originally a Horseman of Pestilence among the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, it's a misinterpretation of old pictures of the Horseman of Conquest. The basic idea is "War leads to conquest, conquest leads to famine, famine leads to death".
