The Horror Thread 2U • Page 649

I havent seen all of his films but I can say that The Happening was the worst one.

 

I must’ve blocked that one out because I definitely hated that one more than Lady in the Water lol

 

Is it even worth watching Lady in the Water?

 

All of his movies except his journeyman stuff like After Earth and The Last Airbender are worth a watch.

 

100% yes, it deserves its flowers for being original and misunderstood and honestly kind of beautiful. It's not perfect, but it's really, really good. Maybe his first not to rely on any twists.

 

If I had to take an initial stab at a ranking the big ones...

The Sixth Sense (works shockingly well as a film even when you know the twist)
Unbreakable
Lady in the Water
The Visit (unironically one of the best B-movies of the past decade)
Glass (shockingly good, stylish, and semi-realistic conclusion to a "universe" I never asked for lol)
Knock at the Cabin (what happens when Shyamalan stops being goofy and takes his job seriously again)
Signs (the reveal is ass, but the rest of the movie is pretty great and genuinely scary)
Split (kind of a shrug from me but undeniably better than the ones below it)
The Happening (pretty much as bad as you remember)
Old (egregiously bad)

Have not seen anything pre-Sixth Sense, either of his sci-fi flops, and I need to rewatch The Village, but I remember enjoying it quite a bit, don't think it would touch the bottom three.

 

I had no idea he co-wrote the screenplay for Stuart Little lol

 

I forgot about Split. I actually liked that one.

 

Jumping in the M.NS discussion to quickly plug the Horror Movie of the Week thread! We're about to start a new cycle and would love for others to join and discuss! Plus, you get to pick a movie when it's your turn if you opt in.

 

Also features in absolutely incredible film score by James Newton Howard.

 

Dropping my M. Night rankings

M. Night Shyamalan

 

Need more people to come join this really cool club Aaron started a few weeks ago!

Don’t disrespect mid sized sedan

 

Join us.....

 

Old is my rewatched movie of his tbh

 

I love the first one so much, need to do a rewatch.

 

I have a special place in my heart for Village now after leaving a cult. Unbreakable will always be number one, though, then a toss up between Sixth Sense and Signs. I’ll always give him a watch out of respect, though, even if everything doesn’t land.

 

I didn’t know you were in a cult.

 

Can’t wait for Sunday to watch JC’s The Fog on April 21st. One of my favorite days.

 

Abigail was great. Dan Stevens runs away with this. Don’t know if it tops Ready or Not for me though

 

Didn't know it was the same guy, now I'm more excited

 

Abigail was a blast. Way more Ready or Not than Scream. Cast was great. Had my issues with their Screams, especially the last one, incl. Barrera, but I liked what they did/her a lot more here.

 

it should be!

 

Yeah Abigail ruled. Pretty much Ready or Not with a vampire with some Scream-esque stuff here and there. I love everything I’ve seen by Radio Silence so far so that may make me a bit biased lol
