okay, just finished watching the happening.
here is my hypothesis: m. night shyamalan has asperger's.
the wooden, stilted dialogue, that all makes technical sense, but has no actual rhythm or emotional resonance?
every single clue methodically linked to some other turn of events, no matter how small. an obsession to these sorts of ties that actually ruins the flow of the actual progression of story?
masterful glimpses into the character, that are muddled in with such underdeveloped, immature takes on humanity that one has to conclude it was by chance?
obsession with fantasy. lack of interest in human development. technicality overriding nuance every time?
yes, the work of a man on the spectrum.

That may be so, but whatever disorder that might afflict that man, a film is not made by a single person. What happened to the people who collaborated on the film? Do they all have Asperger's, too?
No, I think M Night Shyamalan's problem is that he has pretensions of attaining some sort of auteur status based on an above-average debut and a series of flimsy derivative follow-up films.
