This thread is really old indeed. :lol:



It's called The Happening. IMDB has this description: A paranoid thriller about a family on the run from a natural crisis that presents a large-scale threat to humanity.

It sounds a lot like Signs. I hope it is as great.
 
When does his new flick come out again? What is it about? The Apocolypse?



In Bruges
 
:lol: Good question. I think there is a line in the movie about this, but I'm not entirely sure.

I was watching Signs yesterday, but I had company so I couldn't watch past the 45 minute mark.
 
great movie, love it on all levels....... Good story and good directing. I own the dvd, I think this would have been a fun movie to see in the movie theater when it was out.....

My only question if water kills the aliens why did the aliens land on a planet full of water ;)
 
Oh, I LOVE this movie. It's amazing, the way it scares you (well, some of us). The birthday video scene...OMG I screemed out loud, and I never do that watching movies. I also love when Mel's character comes in and finds his kids and his brother sitting there with their little hats...

Great Movie!!!

Yeah when it goes quiet you panic. You know what is happening when it's banging but then when it stops you have no idea what it's doing.
 
I was just thinking about the scene where they are locked in and something starts banging on the door. The beauty of the scene is when the banging stops and that's when you really feel "scared"... It's art, this movie is art.

Unbreakable was okay. I loved Samuel L. Jackson's character! And the ending was really good.
 
Yeah, it's the best kind of horror. Everything is up to the imagination. It gets the viewer involved and lets him make his own decisions about what's happening. It's a very unique way of telling a story.

I watched the extras last night. They're really cool. There are great deleted scenes and a bunch of great other features, including M. Night Shyamalan's first creature movie that he made when he was a kid. I must say it's hilarious!

He's a fantastic director and it was cool seeing a piece of his youth.

I really want to see Unbreakable.
 
I get more scared with suspense, too, and this movie REALLY scared me (and my grandmother). It was fantastic!

You'll have to come back and post about the special features, because it might be worth my buying the movie on DVD...
 
It's so cool hearing everyone's comments about one of my favorite scary movies.

I was scared,

. I get more scared with suspense than with outright horror. I watched it for the second time (on my new DVD

) with a friend and I was screaming so much! It was mostly just to annoy him though,

.

I still haven't really watched the special features. I plan to do so today.
 
Oooh, I liked this movie! Sure been a while since I last saw it though... I wasn't really scared, except during one of the scenes where they show the alien, my friend sitting beside me screamed, which freaked me out. Hehe!
 
I really loved this film - it's all about suspense rather than horror, and I'm all about suspense. It was brilliantly paced, and Joachin Phoenix's expressions alone carried so much horror, fear, anxiety, and confusion, that I totally bought into it.

I watched it back-to-back with my grandmother because it was so good -we HAD to see it twice!
 
I did like this movie, but I was disappointed scare-wise... I'm not scared by much anymore, and this was like nothing! The birthday party scene rocked!
 
*ahem* I gotta admit I gasped and jumped when they showed the aline...
eek.gif
I was scared silly, I put my hand on my chest and tried to play cool. I confess
wink.gif


The whole movie is a big play, no pay off but its such a tease! I have to see it again now!
 
Joaquin Phoenix can sit in a white room with a white tshirt and white pants for 2 hours and to me that'd be a great movie

I loved Signs, I have the DVD. The movie is scary because its so real! One line from Roger Ebert explains it better, "It is not just what we hear that is frightening. It is the way Shyamalan has us listening intensely when there is nothing to be heard. I cannot think of a movie where silence is scarier, and inaction is more disturbing."

And yes, I am a Roger Ebert person, I read all the reviews I can. Just love the ol man.
 
I got the movie on DVD today! I got it at Blockbuster, so it was a pretty awesome price too
