Wait, I never thought about that and this is probably the best and most accurate description of how his movies are.
I recently saw Glass for the very first time. Rewatched Unbreakable and Split just to refresh the memory. And I was happy with Glass until I was halfway through. Afterwards, everything was just set on fire and I was left with nothing.
Yeah, the Shamalayan “twist” is that halfway through every flick, the creative flow becomes an untethered spray. Picture, if you will, a olde-timey grinder producing a length of sausage when suddenly, the casing comes loose… so the crank doubles its speed. How M. Night’s movies get made. 😶 (If you look closely, stamped into the steel there is the ShamaWurst logo.)
This describes most of his movies. Good build up to the mystery with a payoff so bad it retroactively makes everything before it worse.
