First of all, you should give me props for actually looking up his name instead of totally butchering it. Second, the reason I feel like I'm in one of his movies is because of the heavy fog that has blanketed the UBC campus. The fog has given the campus a very eerie mood to it, a mood that is used in many of his movies. If you are not aware of his movies, I will list some of them for you:
The Sixth Sense: A movie in which a kid purportedly sees dead people. A psychiatrist comes to investigate and seems to help the kid only to find that he is dead himself.
Signs: Aliens invade the world. In the climax, a character finds out that water harms the aliens and saves the world.
The village: People live in a village in 19th century America only to discover that it is actually the present day.
The happening: People mysteriously commit suicide until it is realized that toxins secreted by plants are doing the damage.
There, I have just ruined 4 movies for you if you have not watched them before. As you can see, M. Night uses a lot of plot twists; however, I have noticed that the quality of his movies has declined considerably since the Sixth Sense. If he were to make a movie about the fog around UBC, it would probably be called "the fog" or "the mist" or "phenomena". It might have something to do with aliens or dead people in a crazy elaborate plot, and only until the very last minute would be realize that it was all a dream. This is the cliche of all plot twists and he is bound to use it eventually as he is using up plot twists at an alarming rate.
