I remember my gf at the time almost broke up with me because I told her the Village was going to be in modern times, just hidden or something, and I guessed that after watching the trailer for it. Should preface that by saying once we starting watching the Village she got super pissed at me once she realized I was right, but she was a megabitch and might have just been mad because I was right... sorry off topic... the only reason I knew it was going to be where M Night was going with his shit story was because that really was the most logical twist he would pull (most logical in an M Night sense).

Lady in the Water probably isn't as bad as I remember, but I had already given up on him by then. If I recall correctly it was still pretty bland and obvious that everyone was going to have a purpose and be fine by the end of the film (and that was 30 minutes in when ppl realized that).

The Happening should have never happened, it is that simple.

Unbreakable will always be his best movie.
