M. Night Shyamalan’s The Happening

There were no warning signs. Nothing to let anyone know that it was coming. But in just a few short minutes, death and destruction reign down throughout major cities. Nobody knows exactly what is causing this complete breakdown of the human mind. Could it be terrorist attacks? Biological experimentation gone wrong? We can’t be certain…

High School Science teacher Elliot Moore (Mark Wahlberg) has decided that staying put is not the right decision. With his marriage to Alma (Zooey Deschanel) on the rocks, the two of them attempt all methods of travel to get as far away from where they were as possible. Along the way they meet up with Julian (John Leguizamo), a Math teacher friend, and his 8 year old daughter Jess (Ashlyn Sanchez). The four head further into Pennsylvania in an attempt to evade this horrible experience, only to find out that nowhere is safe. But Elliot may just have discovered a glimpse of hope in this bleak future awaiting the whole human race.

The Happening is directed by M. Night Shyamalan.
