The Happening (2008)
3/10
Worse than you can possibly imagine...
6 December 2015
Okay, so it's not Shyamalan's worst film but it comes pretty close. Mark Wahlberg is very talented but he looks confused most of the time. The plot is about some sort of wind that makes people do crazy things. On certain sources, this was labeled as a horror. While the trailers appear that way, there is nothing scary about it at all. I never felt frightened or at the edge of my seat, it's wind and plants for heaven's sake!

The first five minutes had serious potential but then it went completely downhill. I could not take any of the dialogue seriously. There's nothing wrong with campy horror movies but there's no satire or humor for it to be considered that. It just gets ridiculous with a moronic anti-climatic ending that I won't give away because it's not worth explaining. Avoid this movie, I want my time and brain cells back.
