A few weeks ago, I saw a trailer online for M. Night Shyamalan's newest movie "The Happening" online which really caught my attention with it's disturbing material. Remembering this, I searched online to find it, only to find that Fox 20th Century has requested it's removal from every media outlet there is. Apparently, the "mass suicide" sequence portrayed in it was too graphic for unsuspecting audiences and had little to do with the plot line of the actual story.

I can't help but wonder if this is an attempt to stir up media buzz by Shyamalan himself in an attempt to save his reputation after a few box office disasters. Though his movies usually get a lot of hype, that isn't always matched with satisfaction by viewers. Personally, as a scary movie lover myself, I was thoroughly disappointed with his last release "Lady in the Water". I can honestly say it was one of the worst films I've ever sat through. However, because of his edgy plotlines, different ways of thinking and completely unpredictable endings, I know I will go see "The Happening". Is this a personal decision, or is it an affect of great movie marketing and a build up of suspension?

I guess we'll never know.
