Normally I’m more elegant when I try to describe a movie… but not this time. In fact, I won’t even waste the time to tell you how absolutely God-awful the movie was. Here’s a snippet of a review by Sean McBride that pretty much sums it up.
The slight premise, coupled with some very bad performances by the cast as well as a screenplay filled with ham-fisted dialogue makes for a film that’s not scary and borders on being ridiculous at times. The bottom line is that “The Happening” just isn’t happening, and makes you wonder whatever happened to M. Night Shyamalan’s once lauded directorial skills.

Well….I wanted to go see this. I guess not anymore. I normally love M. Night Shyamalan’s movies.

Yeah, I’ve liked everything he put out… even Lady in the Water… but this was atrocious.
