Manoj Night Shyamalan’s The Happening
Manoj Night Shyamalan’s The Happening is a paranoid thriller about a family on the run from a natural crisis that presents a large-scale threat to humanity. This movie stars Mark Wahlberg and John Leguizamo. Apparently, Shyamalan wrote the screenplay for The Happening with Mark Wahlberg in mind for the lead role.
Since The Sixth Sense in 1999, Manoj Night Shyamalan has been under a lot of pressure to churn out blockbuster after blockbuster and you get the feeling that the pressure is affecting his work or maybe Sixth Sense was a flash in the pan. I would not be surprised if The Happening went down the same path as some of his recent movies.
You can also sense how desperate he is for a winner by the tag line of the new movie - “We’ve Sensed It. We’ve Seen The Signs. Now… It’s Happening”. Translation: “Remember those movies I made earlier? I hope so”
I would love to be wrong and I really hope the movie does well. Shyamalan is a good movie maker but I think he has used his formula too many times and every movie has been worse than the one before it.
Godspeed, Manoj.
