The Happening

What a piece of shit movie. M Night Shyamalan is SO LUCKY that the 6th Sense was his first lucky hit, because his movies have gotten worse and worse since. EVENTUALLY THERE HAS TO BE MORE THEN JUST “STYLE”. THERE HAS TO BE “SUBSTANCE”.

Let’s review

6th Sense – lucky break out hit with a surprise ending that people kept the secret about
Unbreakable – I liked it. A very unique take on the “super hero” movies. might be his best actual movie, but it was very slow and grainy, so I understand why some people could not get into it.
Signs – was horrible. let’s be honest. the alien looked fake and the acting was pretty poor. it is just an average movie.
The Village – just complete crap. dumb movie. dumb idea
Lady In The Water – almost completely UNWATCHABLE. A terrible movie and just about everyone agreed that it was one of the worst of the year in 2009

The Happening has Marky Mark Walberg playing a teacher. As the East Coast becomes part of some sort of strange phenomenon where people just start killing themselves in very gruesome ways. I won’t ruin the movie for people BRAVE ENOUGH TO WASTE 89 MINUTES OF THEIR LIVES, but it is silly. And like all M. Night movies the ending sucks even more. And the acting is just short of suck-ass-terrible.

He has lost the magic in my opinion. He still gets complete control over the making of his movies and I believe that will stop soon. You cant spend 75-100 million dollars on a movie to make 40 million without the studios paying for these flicks to eventually step in and take back the control.

I hated it. At the end of the movie my wife almost threw her dinner plate directly at our TV in disgust and anger for how stupid it was. That is how we felt about The Happening.
