Great candidate for Mystery Science Theater 3000

Rating: 1/10 (21 July 2008)

I could not believe how bad this movie was. Usually, movies today could make up for shortcomings with massive amounts of blood and gore or fancy special effects. The Happening was awful in every aspect, except maybe that it was in color. The acting was horrible. Mark Wahlberg talked to everyone like they were retarded children, "What? No!" All blood and gore was avoided, when the guy got under the lawn mower, you didn't get to see what happened, it just went to another camera. The whole premise of the movie didn't make any sense. Why did people start killing themselves? Characters made obviously stupid decisions, when the guy went to Princeton to see his wife, of course he would die. Incredibly predictable And how did all three of them survive? They went outside and it went straight to the end when everyones alright. Not to mention the news clips all suggested a government conspiracy. This movie wasted an hour and a half of my life. It was awful, I would not show this to poor African children who haven't seen a movie in their life, even they would think it's horrible. Please, for God's sake, do not see this movie.
