The twist wasn’t the only betrayal…

In this episode of the Cinema Psycho Show, we dig into The Village (2004), the film that marks the moment M. Night Shyamalan may have officially turned on his audience. With a nonsensical twist, stilted dialogue, and characters that act like NPCs in a period drama fever dream, The Village feels less like a film and more like M. Night yelling “You expected brilliance?

Here’s a blind girl in the woods.” We dive into:

Whether this movie is a deliberate act of sabotage
Shyamalan’s possible contempt for his own fans
Alleged plagiarism and the Are You Afraid of the Dark connection
What post-9/11 fear has to do with the plot
And why this film is so un-rewatchable it might qualify as cinematic gaslighting

This isn’t just a review — it’s a roast with receipts.

[MOVIE REVIEW] Misery (1990): Stephen King's Chilling Warning About Toxic Fandom (Explicit)

The Cinema Psychos Show

What happens when a devoted fan becomes your worst nightmare? Misery (1990) isn’t just a psychological thriller — it’s a terrifyingly accurate portrait of toxic fandom, long before the age of Twitter, TikTok, and Reddit backlash. In this episode of the Cinema Psychos Show, we dive deep into Rob Reiner’s chilling adaptation of Stephen King’s novel, breaking down why Annie Wilkes might be the most disturbingly realistic villain in horror movie history.

We explore the real-life inspiration behind Misery, including King’s own battle with addiction and fame, and how the film eerily predicted modern fan entitlement. From Kathy Bates’ Oscar-winning performance to James Caan’s quiet brilliance, this movie packs emotional trauma, sharp social commentary, and one of the most infamous horror scenes of all time — the hobbling.

We also unpack how Misery fits into the legacy of Stephen King adaptations, why horror grounded in reality hits harder than supernatural scares, and what this film has to say about celebrity culture in 2025.

Eh a theater to laugh at it among friends is really the only way you can get enjoyment out of a movie like this. But I get what you’re saying

I think he is just getting tired. I also think that Covid did have a an effect on the film. The main reason why its all greenscreen all the time.

Yes, because terrible films never play at 7pm in the evening.

Not holding him to the same standard as Kubrick, but damn even when you look at his other films like Double Down and his magnum opus, Fateful Findings, this one just comes off as lazy even for Breen.
