The Happening movie M. Night Shyamalan should've made

Rating: 7/10 (30 December 2018)

This movie is a product of sex between A Quiet Place and the Happening. And the movie, thankfully, received more genes from A Quiet Place. The acting throughout is mostly fine, especially from Bullock and Malcovich. Their characters were the most developed. The basic premise that you get from the trailer is that something has been causing people to commit suicide so you cannot look at it. A premise that isn't new to Hollywood, just written in a different style. What this movie also gets right is the atmosphere. Everything is appropriately creepy to keep the viewer entertained for the entirety of the runtime. However, the movie does suffer a bit from unnecessary characters that are present to just serve the purpose of heightening the death count. The 2nd act stalls just a tiny bit but other than that, it's an enjoyable story fueled with atmosphere and fine(for the nost part) acting.
