What’s ‘Happening’ Now With M. Night Shyamalan’s Next Twist Tragedy?

Did you like M. Night Shyamalan’s “The Village” or “Signs” or “Lady in the Water”? Me neither and apparently, he didn’t get the message because he’s made another movie.

This time, according to Slashfilm, Shyamalan has another film where the audience doesn’t have much idea of what’s going on whether they’ve seen the film or not called “The Happening.”

The film works like this. Suddenly, everyone in America stops talking. Then they have a total loss of coordination and motor skills. Then they kill themselves. Sounds a lot like what it’s like being in the audience of a Shyamalan film.

There is, of course, no explanation for the phenomenon. Is it aliens? Is it supernatural? Is it worth giving up a crap about by the time the credits roll?

Since this is a Shyamalan movie and they all try to have a twist ending that turns harder than a chain mail tourniquet, this one will be no exception and given his track record of lousy endings, my guess is this one will just end with the main character waking up and realizing it’s all a dream or Shyamalan stepping out from behind a curtain and announcing, “Hey it’s just a movie folks. Hope you liked it.”

    It’s not.
    I’d like you to film yourself for a day, and try your ‘wit’ (har har) on that video.
