The Happening (2008)

[it'smebilly]

Did a search but couldn't find a thread so here's my views on this attroc . . . .sorry film.

I get it now, M Night figured he would get even with those that thought his last two films were shit by delivering us a truly shit film like this.

I just got back from this cringe inducing mess of a film. The script is atrocious and I couldn't believe this was greenlighted and came from the same fella who made Unbreakable (my favourite) or Sixth Sense (overated but still good) or even Signs and The Village (Both ok films and IMO undeserving of all the negative reviews). This IMO deserves all the negative reviews it is receiving, it's that bad.

It's not the concept that's bad it's the execution of it, the dialogue is some of the worst I've heard in years. I wanted this to be a return to form but for me it's right up there with Ghost Ship and Dreamcatcher as the worse genre film of recent years.

Yuck, I need to get rid of the stink. Think I'll slap Videodrome in.
