A bad eco-movie...

Rating: 3/10 (21 July 2012)

I missed the first half an hour or so but what I saw wasn't great. The acting was pretty poor and although the idea behind the film was good, it wasn't carried out with the kind of flair Shyamalan has been known to offer in the past (Sixth Sense, Unbreakable, Signs).
I liked the little touches in the film - i.e. the billboard they run past near the showhome states 'you deserve this' - a dig at the audience perhaps?!
The Happening is rather uninspired and does Mark Wahlberg no favours with the dismal dialogue and wobbly storyline. There are flashes of terror & suspense, but the overall film is flat and dull.
