Personal Quote:
I want to make tonal movies [like
The Last Picture Show (1971) ] where plot is almost obscene. In fact, I think I get in trouble because my movies are presented as plot-driven vehicles, so I'm perceived more for that characteristic when in reality my tastes are more here, more like Kubrick and
Blow-Up (1966).

Trademark:
Frequently uses water as a sign of death or weakness (the aliens in
Signs (2002) and David Dunn in
Unbreakable (2000) both have the same weakness; in
The Sixth Sense (1999), Malcolm Crowe's killer is hiding in a bathroom. In
The Village (2004), Finton becomes too scared to continue on with Ivy when it is raining.)
