->M. Night really isn't even a director anymore -- he's a '''legend'''. How do you start ''[[Film/TheSixthSense so high]]'' and get ''[[Film/TheHappening so low]]''? And I'm not talking about, like, ''Film/HighTension'' to ''Film/{{Mirrors}}'', I'm talking about, like, people lining up to see the movie because your name's on it... to nobody seeing the movie because your name's on it.

->So much has already been said about the downward spiral of horror/thriller director M. Night Shyamalan's career and his overused "twist ending" gimmick that it's easy to forget that he also tried to make the phrase '[[{{Film/Devil}} jelly side down]]' sound [[FauxHorrific ominous and scary.]] Never forget. Never. Forget.

->There’s a huge clue in the book ''The Man who Heard Voices'', which is devoted to the production of ''Film/LadyInTheWater''. It’s clear that the author is wildly in love with Night, and makes no attempt to hide it. The way he plays with his buttons at the dinner table, the ease of those three-pointers he sinks at weekly basketball games with his buddies, and even his unusually long earlobes; the author [[ProfessionalButtKisser can’t shut up about how bathed in ethereal light M. Night is]], even when he’s squatting down and birthing some plops.

->The movie itself is pretty much an [[ScienceIsBad anti-science screed]] based on Shyamalan’s failure to grasp science, reason and rational thought...[[QuantumMechanicsCanDoAnything Choprawoo]] combined with Intelligent Design is not a great combo, and after ''{{Film/Unbreakable}}'' (at least) Shyamalan has been unable to [[AuthorTract keep his crazy delusions]] out of his movies.

->Of course, a film maker does whatever he wants, but given the circumstances it is hard to avoid interpreting the movie as reflecting some apparent insight Shyamalan [[AuthorAppeal is bent on sharing with his viewers]], and that insight is absolutely moronic. The movie itself is pretty much an [[ScienceIsBad anti-science screed]] based on Shyamalan’s failure to grasp science, reason and rational thought...[[QuantumMechanicsCanDoAnything Choprawoo]] combined with Intelligent Design is not a great combo, and after ''{{Film/Unbreakable}}'' (at least) Shyamalan has been unable to keep his crazy delusions out of his movies.

Knight Joint']], is where you could expect the twist, and, and--in this case it's no different. In this case, the twist, however, is, uh... [[{{Anticlimax}} Jaden saves the day.]]\\\
Now, I know that Jaden's character has spent the whole movie [[FailureHero running away from his enemies, making a series of bad decisions, and just crying.]] But...that's what a twist is! It subverts your expectations! You all just assumed that Jaden was gonna die at the hands of this creature, 'cause that's what ''should have'' happened. And that's how you just got '''Shyamalan'ed!'''
