Hey there dog... how's it going? I just wanna talk to you. Say hi to your mother for me.

Yet another reason why I will never pay to see an M Night Shyamalan movie.

Honestly I don't see what's so bad about this exact scene. That tone of voice is kind of suiting for talking to an elderly senile woman who's saying crazy things about you killing her in her sleep.

It's a crappy movie plot wise though...

I think the issue is that it is the exact tone and delivery he uses throughout the entire movie... and I mean every single thing he says sounds like this...

Not to justify that the movie was any good (I still haven't seen it) but all the bad acting, etc was done on purpose. Night assumed people would figure out the flick is an intentional B-Movie, first major clue being the cheesy title of the movie itself.

"Was this meant to be a B-movie?


M. Night Shayamalan and several other filmmakers, when shooting the film, stated that it was supposed to be a throwback on the 1950s-'60s B-movies, like The Birds and The Invasion of the Body Snatchers. This can be seen on the "making of" feature on the DVD. Another reason why M. Night might've revealed the movie was supposed to be a B-movie the day before the movie came out is because he thought the audience would be smart enough to figure this out for themselves. While some did perceive it as a B-movie (see here) the problem lies in the majority, who expected it to be another horror/thriller."

..now what I'm wondering is did Ant downvote because he knows this too? lol

I'm not sure about this. I haven't seen it either but I recall seeing the trailer which gave no suggestion it was a B-movie. Given his form as a film-maker no one would expect that from him. What we do expect is some stupid twist at the end.
When I think modern B-movie I recall something like Tremors which did the job superbly.

Shayamalan did a great job with The Sixth Sense, and Unbreakable is one of my favorite movies, but everything since has been shit.

He's a teacher in that movie, right?

I remember throwing something at my screen when this movie ended.

I'm sorry, but I call TOTAL bullshit on the whole "this was supposed to be a b-movie throwback. This movie took itself WAY seriously. There is also a BIG difference between bad acting and tongue-in-cheek camp acting. Fuck Shamalan for tying to make it seem like this movie sucked "on purpose." It was shit and it just serves to show that he got lucky 1.5 times (six sense and half of Signs) and the rest of his oeuvre is just shit shit shit.

Alien was a B-movie. Starship Troopers was a B-movie. The Happening was shit. Complete and utter shit.
