UPDATE: The video initially got pulled not long after I first posted this, but it should work now.
I hadn’t gotten around to posting the trailer for Devil (watch it after the jump), a horror movie from Universal on which M. Night Shyamalan gets story credit. I thought it was a little weird that the trailer would so proudly advertise M. Shyammy’s involvement for all the world to see the same week that people were comparing watching his Last Airbender to being the subject in a human centipede experiment. It just doesn’t seem like something you’d want, or need, to publicize. “See this butt plug? This was Hitler‘s butt plug.”
Anyway, FilmDrunkard Patrick was at a screening of Inception recently, where he filmed the audience’s reaction to the Devil trailer that played before it. Their response to “From the mind of M. Night Shyamalan” bit at the 15-second mark is priceless. Someone should cast Shyamalan in a show set at a bar like Cheers. He could be like the reverse Norm who’s always showing up to ruin everyone’s time.
“Look everyone, Manny’s here!”
“AWWWWWWWWW!”
[Thanks to Patrick]

I’d suggest that the haunted elevator is a metaphor for Shammy’s career, but elevators go up.
Geoffrey Arend is clearly the monster, seeing as he already has a pact with Satan.
Starring: Meaner looking Omar Epps, and the guy who has sex with Christina Hendricks.
Also, I just became the first person to ever call him Geoffrey Arend and not “That Retard That Gets To Bang Christina Hendricks.”
Exactly.
Say what you want about his story writing and film making, but that sumbitch got my Dell to boot XP off of floppy disks quicker than a vinshu cat covering shit.
I bet Elevator Jesus would be worse. You’d always have to hold the elevator for him as he tries to wedge-in that giant fucking crucifix. And he’d be all, “Top floor please” with that wry fucking smile, expecting you to laugh even though he says it every time you’re in there.
The greatest trick Shammy could ever pull is convincing us that he no longer exists.
Is there a sad Constantine sitting on the bench in the lobby?
I’d like to call M. Night Shyamalan a one-trick pony, but in reality, even the pony has more use. Ater it’s gone, the pony goes on to be dog food and glue.
I dunno…this looks a LOT like the Smurfs trailer.
*incoming transmission*
The Mighty Feklahr is certain the sequel to this will depict droves of ignorant trailer park hicks going to the movie theater, only to be strapped into their seats to get a two hour lecture about how shallow and mindless their criticisms of movies are before they are gassed by a maniacally cackling MNShammy, in a movie titled, White Devil.
*end transmission*
I blame OTIS. That fucker’s in every elevator.
Brett Ratner’s horror elevator smells like Cheeto farts.
Stephen King would like to point out that “the black dude dies” does not qualify as a twist ending.
Ohhhweee, he really knows how to push mah buttons!
/serious same thing happened at the theater i was in on friday, but it was more laughter than the disappointed “aww”s
Shammy pitched this film as “a cross between Phone Booth and the first test screenings for The Happening.”
The souls taste like snozzberries!
THAT guy is bangin’ Christina Hendricks!? This sucks.
Not as much as “The Last Airbender” did though . . . baa-ZING!
After finding out that his only good movie was a rip off of an “Are you afraid of the dark?” episode, I am beyond disgusted with the fact that this joker has continued to get opportunity after opportunity to make horribly ****ty big budget movies.
The best part? This is the first in a series. It’s called “Night Tales” or something like that. He’s making more….DUNDUNDUN!!!!!
Even better, it’s ” The Night Chronicles ”
lol
no bs… same reaction in my theater, followed by spontaneous applause
From the Mind of M. Night. Shyamaln… Comes a New Nightmare.
Couldn’t have said it better myself.
So are you trying to tell me the Last Airbender didn’t revive the Sham-Man’s career? No!! The shit you say!! Other than deluded studio executives ready to throw away hundreds of millions of dollars, who ever would’ve thought that?
I think flop is the new blockbuster… Don’t worry Shammy, we know you couldn’t make a buck if you were selling Sham-Wows to a whorehouse, but here’s another $50mil to make some more cinematic drivel…
Thank God you posted this again I couldn’t wait to not watch that shitty trailer a second time.
