Did it actually happened?

Rating: 6/10 (4 July 2008)

I watched "the happening" yesterday at a cinema in Athens (Greece) along with four (4) others.First of all i have to confess that i am deeply sad of the damage pirate downloading from the internet does to the movie industry.I am a horror/thriller movie fan.I have watched hundreds of movies in the past and in my opinion this one was atmospherically scaring enough.There were moments i even spoke out loud (oh no, and things like that) and trust me i am not used to express my anxiety,fear or terror with the rest of the viewers. There is one thing that i hate in movies in general that i consider to be the worst thing to happen that descends me in reality and reminds me that this is just a movie i watch and these characters are just actors pretending their script.Do you imagine what is this that turns me down in a movie? ? Whenever i see a microphone hanging from the top of the screen in the middle of the plot i feel completely stupid.I would excuse it in a b-movie or in one of a low budget.But not in an M. Night Shyamalan movie.I wonder don't these guys watch the movie closely in the montage to cut off mistakes? Watch carefully the dinner scene at the old house with the old lady and you will notice a microphone hanging in the top middle. Except of this 'The happening' i think is a good movie not a masterpiece, i would say 'THE MIST' was much better in acting and in plot.If you want to spend an interesting evening i would suggest it with no remorse.
