Good movie. people went in with a bitter taste

Rating: 7/10 (28 June 2008)

Lets face it, M.Nights last few movies weren't up to par with that ones that launched his career as a horror/thriller director. The Happening wasn't as good as his first few movies, but it definitely wasn't as bad as lady in the water or the village. This movie provides a sense of fear from start to finish, as the action starts right at the first scene and doesn't stop. The plot was good, they could have taken it in a whole different direction and if planned out more this movie could have been a lot better. The acting performances were good as well, especially Mark Wahlberg. I don't know what people are saying, that he cant be a "nice guy" in movies. It's true and it does seem like hes hiding his anger in this performance but thats what makes it good, he finds a way to be overly calm when everybody in the world is dying.
Good movie, not M.Nights best, but not his worst either. 7/10
