Shyamalan does project genuine menace and suspense into this mundane location, especially in nighttime scenes. But the magic that would transport you from reality into fantasy is missing.

New York Magazine (Vulture)
What's odd about Lady in the Water is that for all Shyamalan's histrionics, he's overcontrolled.

Entertainment Weekly
Shyamalan's most alienating and self-absorbed project to date.

The A.V. Club
Shockingly misconceived, poorly executed effort.

Variety
A ponderous, self-indulgent bedtime tale. Awkwardly positioned, this gloomy gothic fantasy falls well short of horror.
