WORSE than expected.

Rating: 2/10 (24 October 2008)

I had seen that this film received awful reviews, so I waited for it to come out on DVD. I was actually looking forward to it being that I am a pretty big M. Night fan. I even like The Village and Lady in the Water. That being said, The Happening was truly abysmal. This film felt like it hit the editing room floor first, then was pieced together. What a mess! And what a boring movie. The film is 86 mins and at 44 mins I was wondering whether I would turn it off or not, that's how bad it was for me. I did not think that the acting was all that bad, it was just the lack of material for the actors that was the problem. This did not even feel like an M. Night movie to me at all. Can't really explain that comment further, it just did not feel right. I would say even for M. Night fans, this is an unnecessary movie. It's not worth the DVD its burned on. Waste of time.
