It looked interesting from what I saw at the Apple Trailers site...

As always, shot choice, music tone, lighting, foley work, and shot timing are probably going to be incredibly good, as I've thought in the past. Rife with symbolism, no less.

It's probably something you don't want to watch after a hard day's work in order to fully appreciate. I'd imagine you'd want to see it ona weekend, when your mind isn't exhausted, so that you can absorb more of what the screen offers.

He does some very fine work, M. Night. I was fortunate enough to have a couple classes in high school where we could dissect some of his films (The Sixth Sense, Unbreakable, Signs)... It is truly amazing the amount of subtle details that are put into these works... It is unfortunate that the average viewer is unable to appreciate most of those symbolic details and double (if not triple) meanings.

I just hope it scares the piss out of me, because F v. J didn't live up to its hype, and I'm in dire need of a good fright...

*FADE OUT*
