M. Night Shyamalan To Release First Rated-R Movie
Many of us have seen the thrilling and in-depth movies that have been created from the brilliant mind of M. Night Shymamalan – but will we be prepared for his next big movie? ‘The Happening’ starring Mark Whalberg and Zoey Deschanel is one of the more graphic movies that he has made since ‘The Sixth Sense’ and is his first Rated-R film.
In life, people get second chances. But now, I am convinced that even Hollywood can be forgiving. After the disaster called Lady In The Water and his other boring films, Signs and The Village, Shyamalan is back with bang. He fully redeems himself with The Happening, making it clear that The Sixth Sense and his other intelligent film Unbreakable were no flukes. The 37-year-old filmmaker has talent. He only needs to keep a tight control on his self-confidence.
Much has been made out of the fact that The Happening is Shyamalan’s first R rated film. Hard to believe, but The Sixth Sense - the terrifying ghost story with touches of blood and a lot of dead bodies - got a PG 13 rating.
But with The Happening director is in a new territory. An invisible, odd and natural happening (mercifully, we are told that terrorists are not so smart to be able to carry something at such a mass scale) - which is probably carried over through plants and trees, is impacting people’s brains and causing them to commit suicide. There are such disturbing imageries in the film - lions ripping apart a man’s limbs at the Philadelphia zoo, and a man laying himself under a large grass cutting machine - that even adults will be freaked out.
