The Happening
October 7, 2008
M. Night Shyamalan used to be a great name for mixing horror and psychological thriller into something more. Plenty of people were, and still are, freaked out by The Sixth Sense and Unbreakable. However, that’s about all M. Night Shyamalan has going for him these days. His latest attempt at a movie, The Happening, is certainly not something you’re going to want to watch a second time. The movie begins with strange deaths which defy any sort of reason, erupting all over major American cities. A high school teacher must find a way to escape the deadly phenomenon. What ensues is 1 hour and 25 minutes of utter crap. The only emotion in the movie is the contained within the fights between Elliot and his wife, and once the conclusion of the movie is on you, you’ll be left scratching your head going, “Really? That’s the end?”

M. Night Shyamalan’s The Happening
July 29, 2008
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.
