Knight has made himself synonymous with that and he has not tried to go away from it (Last Airbender is the exception I guess; haven't seen it) so it's kind of his fault. It appears he loves to write "twists".Chaybeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00696179838579647187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-45726730481834395602015-09-26T15:41:01.253-05:002015-09-26T15:41:01.253-05:00I loved this movie.

What are you seven? No, wait...my seven year old wouldn't be that dumb. No disrespect but people have to get over the "twist" thing. People harp on that and it's just lazy. Oh, yeah...and the Happening is still fuckin great.

The Grandma was awesome, the scene with the main girl being interviewed and affected by the brother's question about not looking in the mirror and some exterior shots were high points for me. It bums me out because the concept was there to make a truly interesting and downright terrifying film, instead, it was simply a forgettable film. The two running jokes were so bad I was cringing knowing when they were coming.<br /><br />Spoilers<br /><br />What an awful Mom these two kids have. Seriously. Glad she was able to save them after the hairy chest contest. <br /><br />Pop stars for curse words - oh no. So this kid knows Shakira?<br /><br />His second "rap" I think he calls his "grandma" a Ho at the end. What the fuck? Btw - whoever wrote these rhymes knows nothing about MC-ing nor does the kid know anything about delivery either; for us that know, it completely sucks you out of the movie. The second time he "raps" I got up to make another drink.<br />Chaybeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00696179838579647187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-40481851657439454452015-09-25T06:58:03.751-05:002015-09-25T06:58:03.751-05:00Saw it yesterday and I second your review, Adam.
...Saw it yesterday and I second your review, Adam. <br />It´s not the Shyamalan of Sixth sense, Unbreakable or Signs, but it´s a big step in the right direction after everything he made since The Village.<br />And as much as I hate found footage and movie kids, in this case it worked good for me. <br />I also didn´t see the reveal coming. I thought more of maybe a crazy cult or religious nonsense than what it turned out to be.<br />Aside from some nitpicks I had more fun with this movie than I expected and that´s way more than I can say about M.Night`s last four films.

I think I liked it a lot more than you. The humor really worked for me, but that may have been partly because it coming out of kids' mouths made it more endearing. I didn't find it scary, but it had some good suspenseful moments and really balanced the tension well with the comedic relief. I think if I'd known it was PG-13 going in I would have been less affected by the spooky stuff, though.Andy Bishophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17324674060230571696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-28650521360862282992015-09-15T08:17:32.545-05:002015-09-15T08:17:32.545-05:00SPOILERS..............................I gotta disa...SPOILERS..............................I gotta disagree with you on the twist. I thought it was one of the director's better ones. I didn't see it coming. I thought the reveal would be that they were aliens or pod people. I also don't think your friends are necessarily wrong about it being scarier than other Shyamalan movies. Which do you think is his scariest? For me, this might be it.

The "twist" was extremely predictable and didn't have a great pay off, but the reveal was nicely done.<br /><br />A few friends that have seen this have said they found it much scarier than M. Night's other films. They are obviously wrong, but I kind of get where they are coming from. Unlike his previous films, this one does attempt to be fully rooted in reality. <br /><br />Nichole Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07952649803826123812noreply@blogger.com
