Rating: 8/10 (14 June 2008)

"The Happening" is clearly a film that most sci-fi fans will enjoy to watch you have to let your thoughts and imagination roll along as one by one the strangest things happen as you the viewer feel like your in another universe. It really feels like a big screen version of an extended "Twilight Zone" episode. Director M. Night Shyamalan really delivers as he is more and more becoming the master of suspense as he really proves with this film that something is in the air! Set in Philadelphia, PA Mark Wahlberg is Elliot Moore a caring and committed high school science teacher who all of a sudden like all in his city and all living across the northeast finds himself plagued with a deadly problem! As the air has something that is turning normal people into crazies that start to do bad things like blowing brains out, and jumping off buildings. So Moore along with his wife(Zooey Deschanel)flee to escape going from town to town yet the mystery in the air continues to follow them. You'll be guessing is it terrorists or toxins or just something strange or unbelievable. Watch because this is a good sci-fi flick and let your mind explore and run wild.
