A Very Dry Movie

Rating: 4/10 (5 June 2014)

M. Night Shayamalan is losing his touch. He burst on the scene with The Sixth Sense and had a couple of more hits in Unbreakable and Signs. I even liked The Village contrary to many. Then came Lady in the Water and this. Forgive me if my time line is off or I skipped a movie, but these are the movies of his that I saw.
The Happening is about some mysterious phenomenon that is occurring nationwide and it is causing people to kill themselves. The movie focuses on Elliott Moore, played by Mark Walberg. The movie was just dry and poorly executed. Not a single actor gave a good effort; I'd even say that Shaymalan mailed it in as well.
The movie was very slow and uneventful with the exception of some disturbing suicides. There was just random movement and useless banter all sandwiched in between some odd deaths. This movie either shows Shayamalan's incredible arrogance or his demise.
