the happening

Rating: 7/10 (2 September 2009)

first off let me say that this is much much better than lady in the water, maybe not quite sixth sense or signs, but pretty good nonetheless. the eerie tension that builds up throughout the movie is very good M. Night said that he set out to create a "b" movie of the 70's well if that was the case he suceeded overwhelmingly. i thought that the horror and suspense were classic Night. The perfomrnace of John Leguizamo was pretty darn good. Zoey Deschanel not quite sure about her performance, felt though as if she wasn't really trying in her role. it is interesting given the situation with the world today that this movie comes out now.. greenhouse gases, global warming, swine flu, bird flu,, maybe M. Night foretells of things to come here on earth. overall i thought this was a pretty decent and very graphic movie.
