The Happening

the red head in wahlbergs class in the beginning of this movie came to talk to my health class one time lmao

I can kind of see why this movie didn’t get great reviews. It was very weird and very confusing. A virus that makes people commit suicide? Really? I love M. Night Shyamalan movies and thought this one was ok but it definitely wasn’t his best. 7.6/10 for me

A lot and a little is going on here. The whole twist is based on, 'What's happening?', which we get told before we even put on the movie. Yes, time has passed but it's in the synopsis. Apart from that, the start of this film has some of the most haunting visuals and sounds. Genuinely got goosebumps from how real it looked, and how it was filmed. M. Night directed the juice out of this. The story on the other hand doesn't hold up. It's extremely forgettable, confusing and weak. It's not one of the first movies that comes to mind when you look at his filmography. The cast was great but overall it was nothing special.

There was an eerie and dreadful feeling to this, the score really exemplifies this. The premise was also really cool but that's about all the movie had going for it. The acting was trash and at times felt awkward. The pacing was slow and kind of boring.
This could’ve been better.

4/10
Good premise horrible execution and terrible acting all across, delivery of lines from most of the actors were just bad and really takes you out of the movie. Specially Zoe deschanel bad acting through the whole thing

Was he strapped for cash? Just terrible acting except mark and his math teacher
