Dull, pointless, and almost more comedic than thrilling

Rating: 3/10 (15 June 2008)

From the man who brought us The Sixth Sense comes The Happening. Across New York, people for no reason start committing suicide. As it spreads, people run trying to escape the cause of this event.
This movie was supposed to be a thriller. Unfortunately, there is a lot of bad acting, no true plot explanation(which I can almost accept since they don't know what is causing it), no plot resolution(it just ends), no real character development(introduce character...kill character), too much humour, and bad timing on that humour disrupting the flow of the suspense. This movie is easily worse than Catwoman. Why did Mystery Science Theater 3000 have to end? This would have been a perfect source movie for MST3K. But, as a regular movie, it was a waste of time and money. Just wait for this to come on SciFi channel some Saturday afternoon if you want to see it. It will probably air between Mansquito and 10.5 Apocalypse.
