Despite the fact that he’s just a producer on this one, Shyamalan will be getting the lion’s share of attention for its success or failure, which is a shame, because if anyone deserves to see their stock rise in the wake of this outing, it’s Dowdle and not the dude who brought us killer pollen and the most poorly-planned alien invasion in the history of cinema.
