Peele is the new Shyamalan

By M. Night's "one masterpiece" I will guess you are talking about The Sixth Sense.

It's a great film but I actually have it ranked as his fourth best movie. I believe that everyone if his first four films are excellent but I have always thought the one among those four that gets the least respect is the most interesting and enjoyable: The Village. I love it and think it's underrated.

After that I'd put Signs and Unbreakable, usually in that order, and then The Sixth Sense.

I'm glad that his career has recovered significantly since the days of After Earth, The Happening and The Last Airbender. I hope that one day he makes a full recovery and makes another string of films that are on par with his first four efforts.

I'm aware of the directors of all of the other films you listed save for It Follows. The reason people aren't as aware of the other directors is because they're relative new on the film scene in general, aside from John Krazinski who directed and had a starring role in A Quiet Place. Jordan Peele has been in front of the camera for a while before he got behind it which is why a lot more people recognize his name. Hereditary was the first film directed by Ari Aster and Andy Muschietti who directed IT hasn't been in the game very long. Neither of them have been in front of the camera though like Peele has which again is why people don't really know their names.

I don't think anyone knows the name of the directors who created other well-received horrors, like It, Hereditary, It Follows, and A Quiet Place. I sure don't. I know of Peele because I loved Mad TV so I paid attention. Then all this idiocy started.

Well, I don't remember the name, but I know that the guy that directed 'It' was one of the two Argentinian directors Hollywood imported recently. The other one is the guy behind the remake of Evil Dead (I don't remember the name neither). Both of them are VERY good.

Same with 'It Follows', I don't remember the director's name, but I know it's the same that released Under the Silver Lake a few months ago, which I loved even more than It Follows (best ending I have seen in a while).

Then you have the guy that made Occulus and the sequel of Ouija (which is a damn good horror movie, far better than the original). This guy is a must-follow. He's the same guy that has made The Haunting of Hill House, the series that was released last months.

Last year you had 'Veronica', from the same guy that made 'Rec'. He's probably the best horror director in Spain right now. And you had 'Ghostland' from the french guy that made 'Martyrs'. That was a movie I was expecting, and... well, it was just meh (being polite).

EDIT. A couple more I forgot. Apostle, released last months, was an horror movie made by the same director that made both The Raid Redemption and The Raid 2, two f*cking masterpieces. This guy is a bloody good director. I've been following him and the lack of projects he has is incomprehensible.

And The Ritual, horror movie released last year, was made by the same guy that made that short in VHS (if you have seen the movie, yes, THAT short you're thinking about). And he was the guy behind Southbound, which I hope there is a sequel, because it was bloody brilliant.

To name (or not-name) a few.

Andy Muschietti, David Robert Mitchell, John Krasinski. And no, I didn't just look them up

All of these directors are getting attention from critics and movie buffs, especially Horror buffs. Sure, not on the level of Jordan Peele, but enough to get their next projects greenlit and financed. John Krasinski is obviously not hurting for work. He has a gorgeous celebrity wife, stars as Jack Ryan on an Amazon show, and is set for life with Office residuals, I'm sure

It made bank and Muschietti is scheduled to direct the sequel. I have no doubt that he will be able to ride the success of It into a long career

David Robert Mitchell just released Under the Silver Lake. It wasn't that well-reviewed, but that is the risk you take when you work in the arthouse indie scene. I'm sure he will be fine

Ari Aster already has his next film, Midsommar, lined up. He was famous (or infamous) since way back when for directing the student film Strange Thing About the Johnsons. He barely released Hereditary last year and will release another this year, and every hardcore Horror fan is frothing at the mouth waiting for it. His career is going very well

Sure, Peele benefits from the inclusion-movement in Hollywood. Sure, it helps that his movies contain obvious social commentary. Yes, maybe he was in the right place at the right time and is getting promoted. But that is not necessarily all a good thing for him. It is very hard to live up to winning an Oscar for your very first movie. It is setting him up to fail

Jack Nicholson said he was glad that his first few Roger Corman movies were so "bad", because he didn't feel the pressure of needing to stage a comeback later in his career. It happened to Shyamalan. It might happen to Peele too

i agree, his movies are average, but most horror movies are so bad these days he stands out. It is kind of like being a pretty girl in a small town.

CherHorroritz You do realize how fucking stupid you sound saying that Peele is better for two movies and yet state that Shyamalan made TWO GOOD MOVIES as well. So by not having made more movies that makes Peele better? This is why people who are kissing his butt are such morons. At least Shyamalan has a real record, and many of his films are well-received and I think they are decent for the most part: Signs, Split, Unbreakable, and The Sixth Sense.

peele is refreshing and i think the deal is that he had been a comedian turned thriller/horror/suspense director. honestly he has yet to make a horror film, im guessing that will happen w/candyman. anyhoo i was a shyamalan fan but he lost me after the happening and definitely after lady in the water. i heard split was bad but i wanna see it so i can see glass. shyamalan was new when he made the sixth sense and i remember everyone talking about it and the "twist", just as refreshing as peele is now. folks like refreshing!

Get Out isn't even that original. Its just Invasion Of The Body Snatchers with a lame plot twist that you can see coming a mile away. Why dosn't he just remake Soylent Green and gets some no name black actor to say "ITS BLACK PEOPLE, SOYLET BLACK IS BLACK PEOPLE". I don't think Peele can afford Will Smith.

M. Night has had far more than two good movies.

In my opinion, he's had four GREAT movies (Sixth Sense, Unbreakable, Signs, The Village) and three more GOOD movies (The Visit, Split, Glass). And even the ones that aren't especially good still hold a certain amount of entertainment value, especially The Happening and Lady in the Water.
