actually a good movie. I thought it was a microcosm for what really goes on in certain countries, keep em in fear so that they can maintain a certain way of life. M.Night is inspired by Hitchcock and also by his own Spiritual journey, so those influences are most often conveyed in his movies. QT is a pop culture buff, and grew up on gangster flix, cowboy movies, scary movies, kung-fu flix, comic books, etc... and that influences much of his work. it really don't think you can compare either, they have created their own lanes. Only thing you can compare is numbers, and M. Night is killing him by a long shot.
