the twists were honestly the disappointing thing because yeah that's what the name shyamalan is synonymous with but then so many are complete nothing
pretty much
manny
's list of the seen stuff, although I didn't really care about Signs even, I think I said it in the last topic but suspect watching Nope before it spoiled me on the the concept
I'd also bump Old down into an awful tier because it really didn't bother making you care about the characters... rapper named Mid-Sized Sedan tho holy shit
The Village was alright, I watched that one with my mom since she loved the atmosphere of the period. The twists were decent, at least to me in hindsight after seeing more of Shyamalan's work.
The Happening can indeed be one of those So Bad It's Good movies, I'm not sure if I'd fully mean it myself but it was at least entertaining to watch the weird ass hot dog dude and Marky Mark's ridiculous attempt to act as a science guy (to be fair the script absolutely does not help)

this cracks me up so much
Unexpected nickname, and an extreme surprise of feels towards it and I don't know why. Good feels. Degrassi feels?
Nope >>>>>> Signs. The sheer anxiety of the slowly isolating and condensing and retreat of the characters is still such a tangible and palpable sense memory that a lot of the plot details and twists don't matter much to me. Phoenix, Breslin, and Culkin sitting on the couch with tinfoil hats watching the Brazilian broadcast is such masterful intensity. Like, the video easily come off as silly, but the
fear
the characters exude is spine-chilling. I go back-and-forth between good and okay on it, but the fact that it still affects me like it does leads me to good (meanwhile, Unbreakable I recognize as a good movie but it has nowhere near the amount of reactive capture).
Old & The Village are in the same tier for opposing reasons. The Village is a decent movie, but it bores me and I don't care. Old is a terrible movie, but there are parts that intrigue and terrify me and haunt me, and I think it helps that I watched it piecemeal in completely random order while working, so there were a lot of mysteries to my experience that didn't really exist watching beginning-to-end, and a lot of moments (
Ken Jeong's death
) that seemed more important and terrifying than they were otherwise. It's not farcically bad like The Happening, it's got way too many nothing characters, stupid dialogue, and very silly plot points to be good, and it just exists.
"What? Nooo" is love.
