Vignettes weaving together the stories of six individuals in the old West at the end of the Civil War. Following the tales of a sharp-shooting songster, a wannabe bank robber, two weary traveling performers, a lone gold prospector, a woman traveling the West to an uncertain future, and a motley crew of strangers undertaking a carriage ride.

When a willful young man tries to venture beyond his sequestered Pennsylvania hamlet, his actions set off a chain of chilling incidents that will alter the community forever.

One of the most mature Shyamalan’s movies. Don’t get me wrong, all his movies have weight, but this one is on top of the game for being very well executed…

Thriller

A Harvard Medical School graduate takes a position at a mental institution and soon becomes obsessed with a female mental patient, but he has no idea of a recent and horrifying staffing change.

Just like the main actor, this movie is quality stuff. Spooky, atmospheric and entertaining in its own way. The script could have been a little more spicy, but overall fluent…
