The Happening

The Happening: Oh, I see what is “Happening” here – M. Night Shyamalan makes another terrible movie….this guy is on a roll!! Mark Wahlberg stars as a high school science teacher, who along with his wife tries to flee the Philadelphia area because of a strange outbreak that is occurring outdoors. Strange might not be the right word – the outbreak causes people to stop what they are doing and then in a trance like motion kill themselves by any means possible. Nobody is sure why this is happening, but it seems to start in heavily populated areas and in parks. Our heroic science teacher latches on to the theory that it is the plants and trees fighting back against the human population. Wahlberg adds some humor to the film as he plays his character in a very corny way and his line delivery is comical. The movie is not very scary or eerie or suspenseful…….what it is -- is crappy.

“Kick it to the Floor” ….. "Then stomp on it”
