Considering Universal has been cancelling advance screenings left and right for this once Shyamalan gave the final cut, I'm not surprised. They're keeping a lid on inevitably bad WOM.

Expecting a very bad movie then. Trash Shyamalan is back.

LMAO, I guess that's better than lifting the embargo after the movie opens, but barely... That actually happened with Tulip Fever, BTW: https://www.vulture.com/2017/08/a-tribute-to-the-truly-bungled-release-of-tulip-fever.html

I know it's an out of context clip but I really hope the bad delivery is intentional, maybe the film itself is silly on purpose but wow that was rough.

[Lucas]

The Happening vibes are real, and I'm so fucking excited.

[WittyUsername]

It really seemed like Shyamalan was making a comeback for a brief period, but this looks like he’s back to his old ways. 

[Lucas]

The absurdly awkward dialogue, and the stilted performances trying to make it sound natural - and then added with Shyamalan's insistence on longer unbroken takes that does nothing but highlight just how off everything is... it's a recipe for a great film.

[lorddemaxus]

I mean I chuckled when the guy said "specifically 6 and a half" but that's part of the fun with Shymalan movies. This movie looks insanely fun and it's a shame I won't be able to watch it in cinemas (maybe I might catch it in the US in August if its still running in cinemas near where I'll be living then).

I'm so glad I'll never have to see a trailer for this again

[Lucas]

YEEEEEEEEES

[Krissykins]

Uh oh! 
 

I wonder when the embargo lifts? 
 

I was looking through Shyamalan’s RT scores. He really is all over the place with critics from 5% to 86%. 
 

The Sixth Sense, Signs and The Visit are my favourites of his, for sure. 
 

Remember how great the trailers and tv spots for The Village were? Then it fell flat.

 

I thought The Happening was abysmal. Split was a let down, so I skipped Glass. Lady in the Water was strange, but I remember not hating it as much as everyone else. Unbreakable was ok back in the day. And I thankfully haven’t seen The Last Airbender or After Earth.

Umbreakable is amazing and very underrated.

That is the sign of an epic trashfire

You’re thinking of the test screening being cancelled 3 hours before, not the embargo.

Nah, I was thinking right. it's a couple hours before thursday previews start:

 

 

[Valonqar]

hey now, I'm sure that they don't want groundbreaking Holy Shit! spoilers, such as Marky Mark apologizing to the plastic plant, to leak. 

[ThomasNicole]

Reactions are good.

 

But in general the people droping reactions aren'r even verified so i'm not taken very seriously.

 

 

[Cmasterclay]

The Happening has undergone a low-key critical reevalution since release and is now considered a modern classic B-movie, so not sure that's the shade it once was.
