Just last week, we predicted that M. Night Shyamalan’s The Happening would be one of the summer’s biggest flops. But Night’s not going down without a fight. As always, Shyamalan has followed a tantalizing teaser with an equally promising trailer, one that firmly establishes the premise for the film while leaving us guessing where the movie might go. If nothing else, the director’s visual sense is as assured as ever. But then, has the directing ever really been the problem with Shyamalan’s films? For me, the problem has almost always been in the fact that after a promising setup, he tends to have trouble ending his films in a satisfying manner, either because he feels the need to include a “twist” or because he just can’t figure out where to go. Still, I hold out hope for Shyamalan and for The Happening, and wonder if this might be the movie where he finally manages to stick the landing again.
