Not Bad!

Rating: 2/10 (15 March 2014)

I'm not a huge fan of M. Night Shyamalan, but he's made a few interesting movies such as the Sixth Sense. This film, the happening, is watched it the other night and I thought it was pretty good. It wasn't as good as I was expecting it to be, there were some stuff I found disappointing. First, the film had a decent first half but started slowing down its pace the second half where. Another thing is didn't like was the characters, there wasn't a whole lot of character development throughout the film or anything interesting about them. Mark Wahlberg did an okay job as his character, the rest I wasn't quite satisfied with. What this film needs is more inspiring characters and maybe a better plot line. Overall, I enjoyed the film. The whole premise of how everyone gets chased by a virus that causes them to become suicidal was quite interesting (and a bit weird some ways). To be honest, I'm not so sure why this film got so many negative reviews from audiences or even the critics. I think this is worth watching, especially if you're a fan of supernatural thrillers.
