Unbreakable -9/10
Glass -8/10
Split -7/10
The Village -6/10
The Visit -6/10
Signs -4/10
The Happening -3/10
I suppose I like Glass and The Village more than the average person and Signs a bit less. The Happening could be higher if it's really meant to be a parody as moviemouth once told me. I skipped his more hated efforts.
The reason I figured maybe that was the intention is because "WTF?" and because it came right after Lady in the Water which I do see as a black comedy in ways. I mean this movie involves one character who has been only working out one arm and so he has one skinny arm and one extremely buff arm. It involves a motel janitor who finds a portal to a fantasy world in the motel pool and a fantasy wolf who brutally kills a cynical book critic. This movie was obviously a response to M. Night's critics in regards to The Village and I find that amusing.
Hmm. Say what you want about The Happening, I never found it boring. I can see an argument for its bad acting and many silly aspects being an homage to 50s b movies, though I'm troubled no one involved has come out and said it. We know at least Market Mark wasn't in on the joke: he's trashed it publicly.
