M. Night Shyamalan’s New Movie Ends With Something Worse Than a Twist

Jonathan Groff as gay Jesus should be a lot more fun.

There’s no explanation of why this particular sacrifice has been demanded by god—if that’s even the right name for whatever force has put the visions of what’s coming and how to stop it in the four strangers’ heads—only a vague certainty that this has happened before, that once in every undetermined number of years, a family has been faced with this sacrifice—and, given that the world still exists, they must have made their choice.

Tremblay’s novel is substantially more chaotic. But Shyamalan’s movie, on which he shares screenplay credit with Steve Desmond and Michael Sherman, is orderly to a fault. The horsemen not only die as prophesized but in the order that’s prescribed. They might as well be lined up before a firing squad. And that goes for Andrew and Eric as well. Throughout the movie, Leonard underlines the notion of choice. Their sacrifice will only work if it’s an act of will.
