I'm not a fan of Shyamalan, and now especially his comment, "the challenge is taking a B-movie subject like ghosts or aliens or monsters in the woods and treating it with absolute respect and sincerity." Who is he to tell "us" what proper horror stories should be. If he means making mainstream films which appeal to mass markets then I'll agree, he's doing pretty good.
Dawn of the Dead, (orginal) is a favorite, (high on the list) of many of us on this forum. Where does it fit in, on the Scary movie scale with regards to this article? Maybe Shyamalan should do another remake, (DOTD) so the movie could finally be treated with "absolute respect and sincerity,"...give me a break.
I don't normally go off on a rant like this, but I believe all movies which fall under the genre Horror/SciFi/Thrillers must have one thing in common, be scary, by however means it accomplishes this, suspense, gore, whatever, it has nothing to do with smart or stupid...Thats just my opinion.

Does not this word sound like the call of the death bird at Midnight? You dare not say it since the pictures will fade into dark shadows, ghostly dreams will rise from your heart and feed on your own blood
