The Happening

Plot:

Elliot Moore is a high school science teacher who quizzes his class one day about an article in the New York Times. It's about the sudden, mysterious disappearance of bees. Yet again Nature is doing something inexplicable, and whatever science has to say about it will be, in the end, only a theory. Scientists will bring out more theories, but no explanations, when a more urgent dilemma hits the planet. It begins in Central Park. Suddenly and inexplicably, the behavior of everyone in the park changes in a most bizarre and horrible way. Soon, the strange behavior spreads throughout the city and beyond. Elliot, his wife, Alma, and Jess, the young daughter of a friend, will only have theories to guide them where to run and where to hide. But theories may not be enough.

Review:

Ok, I really liked the Sixth Sense, Signs and shit the Village and Unbreakable were decent flicks but since he came out with Lady in the Water, its been a downhill journey

This ranks a little higher than Lady in the Water but don't get me wrong, its still shit - just shit gift wrapped with a ribbon and bow accordingly.

M.Night is really good at doing up suspense and that scary stuff he's famous for in the above mentioned movies but unlike those movies this one lacks a decent ending. Its just such a lame, boring ending that it kinda feels like your cheated. To top it off, the film only runs 1hr 30 min. Makes ya wonder if they made it for the money. Its a cool idea but if you don't have a solid conclusion, whats the point?

Rating: 2/5
