M. Night Scamalan’s fans are people that are very gullible. The sixth sense was a good movie, but by no means is this guy hitchcock. He’s more of a hack. His “style” is pure Japanese horror. His premises are reject episodes of Twilight Zone and Outer Limits.

Signs – “Water hurt us, Xenu. Let’s explore it anyways, but lets do it naked.” – Xypher

Unbreakable – “Hey lets make a comic book movie with the hero not wearing tights, tights are sooo gay.” – M. Knight

The Village – “Hey, my fanbase only have a few brain cells, so let me personally explain the twist at the end! I’m a genius.” – M. Knight

Lady In The Water – “My kids came up with the idea, don’t blame me. Also they claimed I was the greatest writer in the world, not me.” – M. Knight

The Happening – “lets out run the wind!”

I’ve never watched a show and felt so numb inside. Bad storyline, terrible cast (don’t get me wrong, I like Deschanel but this is not her kind of show), over use of wind machines and did anyone else saw the boom mic creeping in and out of scenes? ok, that HAS to be the creepiest part of the movie. I’m a HUGE Hitchcock fan and am appalled that Shyamalan has the audacity to compare himself to the late Hitchcock, who is truly the Master of Suspense.

Kevin,
Are you kidding? “Creepy. Creepy as hell.”???
Did we see the same movie?
The only creepy element to the story was Betty Buckley and her schizophrenic behavior. What M. Night could have done was build a nice, tight story around her character and her house in the middle of nowhere…she was creepy…the house was creepy…the concept of the pipe that could pick up voices coming from the “slave” house was creepy. The thought of grasses, plants and trees that communicate with each other and emit toxic gases that kill people whenever the wind machine blows is not creepy. It’s stupid. Bad acting, lousy script, clueless characters, another messed-up M. Night waste of money coming down the pipeline? That’s creepy!

i stand in solidarity with you, comrade. i really enjoyed The Happening and i suspect there
is just a trend/fad/conspiracy to hate Shyamalan. jealous much? i dunno. what i do know
is that The Happening has a few layers of messages within the story that people just don’t
see (or want to see). with Lady in the Water and this new film he is telling a story the way
he wants. why must Shyamalan follow all the rules of preconceived restraints created by
bitter critics? anyway, the movie’s grand. save the people, save the environment; love each
other and love the planet.

PS: i see beauty in all his films, even the ones that everyone loves to hate like The Village
and Lady in the Water.

It’s simple really, we make our money selling our bodies and fluids. There is no money to be made on the internet, thats ridiculous!

Hey there Douglas Hall, I’ll bet no one gives a shit! No one knows of you and never will.
How about you lose that beer belly and get off your mother’s couch. Maybe then, you will
find some pussy and you can lie to women! At least lying to women will get you
something! Think about it or just kill yourself you hack.

Kind regards,
Eric Cash

PS. “DAVE” on the comments.. SUPPORT YOUR ARGUMENT YOU FUCKING LOSER. Where’s
your website and why aren’t you getting paid? HAHA KILL YOURSELF! The truth is so
obvious and in your face, do something about it!

I will bet $5,000 to be paid to any major studio executive, or major producer’s favorite charity, that I can write a better script with as good a twist or better as any of M. Night’s movies, including The Sixth Sense. I will leave the judging up to any 3 script analysts that the executive chooses.

It’s time that this hack named Shyamalan is put out to pasture. Surely Hollywood can find better than this. My email address is dhall58@gmail.com.

I’m ready to put my money where my mouth is.

Kevin Carr, I wholeheartedly agree with your entire review.

I thought the acting/dialogue was a bit off at times, but the overall creepiness, the occasional all-out scares, the message, and, of course, the shock moments, were all on point. I was also at the edge of my seat from early on in the film.

Note: I also enjoyed Lady In the Water, so… (P.S. but very disappointed in The Village)
