384299, The Happening was probably his weakest movie

it was still entertainig. he still had the knack for filming ridiculously creepy 'phenomenon' and creating a great atmosphere
but it just lacked a bit of cleverness i think. i don't know if the visual pun of 'killing ourselves' was good enough by itself. and some of the acting was well dodgy.

Lady in the Water was excellent. Most critics failed to engage with it

The Village was excellent. Maybe as good as Sixth Sense.

Signs was great, i don't see how it's 'deeply flawed'

Unbreakable is pretty good, probably my least favourite outside The HAppening

so, i don't see a downward slope. he's still young, MANY films left in him
