But like a pet owner standing by their overly aggressive dog, M. Night Shyamalan has now insisted that he has a soft spot for Lady In The Water.
When it was released back in 2006, Lady In The Water was seen as the film that curtailed M. Night Shyamalan’s career.
After The Sixth Sense, Unbreakable, Signs, and The Village had each made huge box office returns, and been met with mixed to positive reviews, Lady In The Water flopped both critically and financially.
More than that actually, Shyamalan has even declared that he loves it.
