Can't wait to see this flick.
Shymalawn never dissapoints in my opinion. 6th Sense, Unbreakable, Signs, all dope movies and I can't wait for this film. I have seen all the trailers and I am soooo looking forward to it, he just makes dope movies.
-
Yea, should be dope.
-
The new trailers are weak. Shows more interesting things about his previous movies than the one coming out. I'll see it though because he never disappoints.

yup^^^^

Yeah, of course it will be good. This guy's gonna try and make a run @ Stephen King's crown, I'll bet. I don't think he's gonna make it, lol.
-
Honestly doesn't look that scary to me at all. Shamalawn (or w/e) is a very good director, no doubt...but this one just doesnt look scary to me.
-
Signs was corny as fuck but the rest were great, especially unbreakable.
-
I think what you have to realize is he's not really trying to scare people. He's trying to intrigue people. Totally different.

Intrigue people into what? Beasts in the forest? I probably won't see this, but if the critics and alot of others say it's a tight movie, then I'll go see it for myself.

It's suspense. You don't know what's gonna happen, but it's interesting and intriguing. All his others were of course the same way. The aliens in "Signs" weren't scary. It was just the suspense of seeing a little glimpse of them, wondering what was going to happen, it's a totally different artform.

Yeah, you're right. If I go see it, I wanna be on the edge of me damn seat...
Also, I see that one guy is in this movie (IDK his name), who was also in Signs as Mel Gibson's brother and Gladiator as the prick who killed his father and took over power of Rome. Who is he? I like that actor.

totally right^^^..my lil bro shitted his fuckin pants when he saw the alien in that scene at the birthday party in brazil...i mean..its not really scary...but the suspense is intense lol
-
ima check it out, but signs was dumb. What kind of fucken alien that cant take water goes on a planet full of it with no fucken rain suit? God forbid the humidity alone would slowly melt them.
-
Yeah, of course it will be good. This guy's gonna try and make a run @ Stephen King's crown, I'll bet. I don't think he's gonna make it, lol.
movie wise, i don't feel stephen king...i think he's fallen off
-
looks like a good movie , I'll watch it after i watch Spiderman2 , I robot and Dodgeball

Stephen King is known for writing novels which get turned into movies...M. Night Shyamalan is known for writing movies, and directing them himself...The comparison was horrible...PeACe

never disappoints? did u see the ending of Signs? It didn't make any fucking sense. aliens that can't be touched by water are visiting a planet not only covered in 70% water but a planet where it consistently rains, herding beings whose bodies are built up by water. and that 'Swing away' thing was so horrible. I loved Unbreakable, 6th Sense. i liked Signs up to the ending. that ending was a disappointment.
well thats what i think anyway.
-
As everyone has said his movies ain't about making people shit themselves they are about a storyline and then a suspensful ending. I thought Signs was great. Sure people will think the Swing Away and the whole Alien coming to a planet where there is 70% water thing is dumb but one word sumed that movie up for me: Fate. That was the storyline, that was how the story was told and I thought it was awesome.
Can't wait for this shit.
-
i think this is one fo those movies where the trailers show all the good stuff then the whole movie is boring
how can you say that when you aint seen the movie?

^^lol

^tell that to my little brother lol
I guess the reason the aliens in sign came to earth, even though it was full of water...because they were really really hungry ;D

They're both known for writing horror/suspense movies. Your intelligence forbids you from seeing the similarities involved in an obvious comparison. "PEACE~"

If you wanna compare Shyamalan, compare him to John Carpenter or Wes Craven...Not Stephen King, you moron.
-
why can't you compare them when steven kings writes/directs movies untop of writing books?
it's like saying you can't say michael jordan wasn't good at baseball player because he was known for basketball
-
^^Stephen King hasn't directed movies...He's not a director...He directed one whack ass movie in '86, and never directed again...He just writes novels...PeACe
-
ill check it out

Hey, I Don't Know... the whole board recognizes my intellect as superior to yours, so slow your roll.
Stephen King writes suspense/horror movies. so does M night Shayamananana. Stephen King has basically done a much better job, because he has 2 or 3 dozen good movies under his belt. Shayamananana has 3, going on 4. King didn't direct his, but who gives a fuck? They wouldn't have been done without him.
The 6th Sense
Unbreakable
Signs
The Village
Compare that to
Carrie
The Stand
Pet Cemetary
It
Rose Red
The Shining (which is beter than anything Shaymalan has done)
Needful Things
Christine
Apt Pupil
Children of the Corn
Cat's Eye
Creepshow 1
Creepshow 2
Cujo
The Dark Half
The Dead Zone
Dolores Claiborne
Dreamcatcher
Firestarter
Graveyard Shift
Green Mile
Hearts In Atlantis
Misery
The Mist
The Running Man
Salem's Lot
The Shawshank Redemption
Sleepwalkers
Sometimes They Come Back
Stand By Me
Thinner
The Tommyknockers
If you can't see the comparison as WRITERS, and that King is easily superior, I dunno what to tell you.
-
Most of the board? Trauma, you are a dumbass, and I know a lot more about the horror genre than you...Most of the movies you listed were just movies that were taken from Stephen King novels...He doesn't even write the screenplay...For instance, Stephen King HATED The Shining (1980 version)...You can compare them as writers, but saying Shaymalan is trying to become the next Stephen King is ridiculous...PeACe

I am with NIK on this one.
Shymalawn writes screenplays and then directs them in the way that he feels suitable and in a way in which he knows will make the audience be attracted to the picture and guessing till the end.
Stephen King writes novels that are very deep, long, complex and well drawn-out.
The difference between them is: Screenplays and Novels.
The fact that a screenplay and a novel are totally different when it comes to writing is the main difference. Trauma you are wrong, King writes the books not the movies and then somebody will make a movie out of his book that will usually say at the start "Based on the Stephen King Novel..................". Shymalawn writes the screenplay and then directs it himself.........honest if you ask me who the better Writer in terms of films is, its Shymalawn, but if you ask me who the better writer is in terms of actual books/stories/novels, its King.
As NIK said, the comparison is stupid.
