I just saw "The Happening" . I had really high expectations considering his previous lack lusters "Lady in the Water" , and the long drawn out Twilight Zone episode "The Village" ; both films I despised. I really enjoyed "Signs," thought "Unbreakable" was good (after a second watch), and "The Sixth Sense" -- which turned out decent but had no replay value.
The Happening plot: A paranoid thriller about a family on the run from a natural crisis that presents a large-scale threat to humanity.
What I like: The "R" rating and the death scenes. I know that may seem morbid, but hey, I really love gore. The movie also had a good start and good pace until the last 20 minutes or so.
End Result: This is one of his better efforts but not the best. It had some intense moments and decent acting, but the film just did not feel complete.
The Message in the movie: Give a hoot don't pollute!!!
