Wait, I never thought about that and this is probably the best and most accurate description of how his movies are.
I recently saw Glass for the very first time. Rewatched Unbreakable and Split just to refresh the memory. And I was happy with Glass until I was halfway through. Afterwards, everything was just set on fire and I was left with nothing.
Yeah, the Shamalayan “twist” is that halfway through every flick, the creative flow becomes an untethered spray. Picture, if you will, a olde-timey grinder producing a length of sausage when suddenly, the casing comes loose… so the crank doubles its speed. How M. Night’s movies get made. 😶 (If you look closely, stamped into the steel there is the ShamaWurst logo.)
Yeah, it’s not a good movie. I did enjoy the mystery of it though, it does build up nicely until the big reveal of what they look like.
This describes most of his movies. Good build up to the mystery with a payoff so bad it retroactively makes everything before it worse.
