Complete Trash

Rating: 1/10 (18 June 2008)

After watching The Happening, I was completely shocked at how awful this movie was. For one thing, the acting in this movie was pathetic and even more horrible was the actual writing and dialogue performed by the actors.Scenes in the movie were acted so poorly that at times when your supposed to be upset or scared, I just laughed because it was over the top awful. Normally in a M. Night film, if there is something to say negative about it, it is normally not the writing, but in this movie he completely botched that up. On top of all that, the movie doesn't delve into what the inhalant is. They say indirectly that the plants and trees are the cause, but they could've gone deeper. For example, if you have been in contact with the inhalant, can it be cured with a vaccine, or if someone tied you up for example, could you stay for an extended period of time being contaminated. The ending leaves you with almost nothing to answer these questions. Normally, you would like to see a cure for it, or at least a attempt at one. At the end of the day, I would save your money and see something else, or take ten dollars and flush it down the toilet.
