Good Concept, bad result

Rating: 3/10 (23 May 2015)

This movie had a lot of potential. I know that people think the idea of trees causing people to kill themselves is crazy, but it's actually a good idea. Why do I think this? Well most trees are connected via roots. Now lets say that a tree connected to other trees is infected with the biological chemical that caused people to kill themselves. Because the trees are connected, the chemical could spread to other trees and release the chemical everywhere like in "The Happening". Even though the concept is good, the film is still bad because of it's horrible acting and screen writing. The acting is unbelievable and silly while a lot of dialogue has nothing to do with the movie. The worst of it being about the hot dogs. What was Shyamalan thinking when he added the scene about hot dogs? What does that have to do with the trees and events happening? In conclusion, if it wasn't for the screen writing and acting, this might have been a pretty good movie, but instead contributed to Shyamalan's continuing downfall.
