I use to be a fan of M. Night, I enjoyed all of his films until I watched “The happening”. We began with “Sixth Sense” some said of it was obvious some were surprised one thing he use to do was first make a good film and then have a surprise at the end. Also a good surprise ca not be impossible for the viewer to figure out.
He followed it up with Unbreakable (my favorite), Signs and The village. All good films and even though I sometimes felt like they were just Twilight Zone episode they were good episodes. Next up he did “Lady in the water”. Now I still liked this film even though it wasn’t his usual genre.
Then I watched “The Happening”. It was like watching a low-budget first time director horror film. It had no big twist or any real plot. It seems that maybe he didn’t have a twist at the end because we all expected one, we all expected one because he use to be good at them.
He next film is “Airbender” which I can not review because I have not seen it, but I’m not rushing out and watching it in the theatres like I use to.
