10. The Happening
That Shyamalan made this film, and the two prior on this list, in succession basically explains why he needed to reinvent his career. Of that downward spiral, we rank The Happening as the best (of the worst) because it actually starts like other Shyamalan movies: there’s an intriguing, deadly mystery afoot. When it’s revealed to be the freaking plants, well, things go off the rails a bit and become goofy. At least it started off in the right direction and starred Zooey Deschanel.
