He's made one really good movie and one decent movie, but he's working in a genre where imagination and execution go part-in-parcel, and Shamalyan rarely infuses his films with both. His twists are tepid at best, and his characters are the lowest common denominator of "normal" folks, i.e. people who's lives you really don't care about at all, therefore what happens to them in a genre film is meaningless, because you don't care anyway.
Oh and the "Happening?" I know what the story is already...scroll down if you wanna be spoiled...
The Plants get pissed off at humanity and decide to fight back with a toxin that ends up making human beings commit suicide. Kind of like Day of the Triffids without the moving plants who are really aliens.

wow thank you shyamalan for making without a doubt the cheesiest, most idiotic plot that i've ever heard of. his plot twists are really indepth but they suck.
