first 15 minutes were great, but then it's one big farce

Rating: 3/10 (5 November 2013)

What a great title because this happening is exactly what broke the success of director M. Night Shyamalan. Once mighty with The Sixth Sense (1999) and been called the next big thing I must say that Unbreakable (2000) still delivered the good stuff but from that moment his flicks were becoming laughable and let be The Happening one big sad joke.
The only thing worth seeing are the first 15 minutes when people start falling down and suicidal tendencies are the hype of the moment without any explanation. After 15 minutes this flick has nothing to offer except boring situations, no suspense and even no horror or science-fiction. The only thing I could think of was indeed the fact that earth will one day take revenge towards humans because we are destroying earth but here it was laughable and one big farce.
