Top 10 Fall Films Worth Shouting About
Fall Movie Season is here! Finally after all those endlessly lackluster summer movies, so loud and filled with mind-wasting special effects, it’s once again, time for the good stuff.
The Visit
Writer/director M. Night Shyamalan is a bit egotistical. The filmmaker who shot to success in 1999 with his beautifully haunting thriller “The Sixth Sense”, earning him an Oscar nomination has been trying to “regain control” ever since.

When Statham turned down the chance to reprise playing Frank
