What's "Happening"???

Rating: 1/10 (27 October 2008)

What is it with M. Night?? His movies keep getting worse!! This movie has to be one of his biggest disappointments to date. It sure was not scary, there wasn't much of a thriller element when you find out what supposedly is going on, and who knows why it got an R rating. Sixth Sense was awesome, Signs was OK, The Village was barely passable, but The Happening was awful. The "plot" the acting was not even anything to write home about and it had some decent named actors. I hope he turns things around with future projects, but he needs to stop doing weird pointless movies!! Just my personal opinion. One of the problems I saw with this film was things were never properly explained at any point in the movie and nothing is more irritating to watch a movie for 90 minutes or more to only be scratching your head at the end because it just made no sense and didn't frighten, shock, scare or any other emotion that a thriller is supposed to do. Sixth Sense did ALL of that! I hope he gets his touch back for doing movies like that again!! I only give this movie 1 out of 10 and it is not one I would recommend to others.
