Just Awful

Rating: 2/10 (16 June 2008)

I gave this the benefit of the doubt for the first 20 minutes, I really did. Interesting starting concept, fairly atmospheric, and thought it might be about to get going in to something fairly good.
However it wasn't long before I realised what this is. It's just a very very poor film. Appalling acting, dreadful script, and a real lack of any substantive plot.
It went nowhere from the original theory on what is causing 'The Happening,' to its confirmation, to the end of the film. It threw in cliché after cliché in an attempt to bulk out it's premise, and the 'failing love redeemed in the face of tragedy' sub-plot is laughable.
Avoid at all costs.
