Dan Jolin (Contributing Editor): I love the fact that M. Night Shyamalan, ‘the twist guy’, has now put out a trailer with a twist in it. Graham Jones (Deputy Art Director): Unless there’s gonna be a twist on the twist. You don’t know what to expect with him.
Ben Travis (Deputy Online Editor): I think he’s on a bit of a streak. Like, Old was absolutely batshit but I had quite a lot of fun with it.
Knock At The Cabin was really good, apart from the ending…
Alex Godfrey (Features Editor): Yeah, he’s been having a renaissance for a few years now, since he started making low-budget films and having complete creative control. I love that he exists.
Ben: This is M. Night Shyamalan in peak dad-mode. He has seemingly built this film around the fact that his daughter [Saleka] is an aspiring pop star in real life, and here she’s playing a big pop star [Lady Raven] who might as well be called ‘Sailor Twist’. Also, there’s a little Easter Egg shout-out to his other daughter’s upcoming film, The Watched. All in a film that’s about a doting dad [Josh Hartnett] taking his daughter to a concert.
[1] Alex: But this concert is fucking sedate.
