Oh my God! What a mess... I was a big fan of M. Night Shyamalan (6th sense, Unbreakable, The Village) but now after seeing this "Happening" (adding "The Lady In The Water" fiasco), I will be skipping his next movie for sure! It's hard to believe this is the same director who made "The Village"."The Happening" is so weak in acting, so weak in plot, so boring overall - it makes you wonder who really shot this movie... Could M. Night Shyamalan's previous movies be mistakes? Mark Wahlberg is at his worst in here, with no help whatsoever from the cast of supporting actors. The old woman living alone in the forest appears almost interesting but is a far cry from that really. It's just that compared to the rest of the cast, she is really good. It's "War of the Worlds" made into a C-movie. Other than lots of wind special effects and people killing themselves in so many gross ways, this movie has nothing to tell. People running away but without any emotions really. When emotions are shown they seem so fake because of the bad acting... arrgh! What a mess! So M. Night Shyamalan, I am not watching your next movie until it's on TV and I'm too sick to reach for the remote to switch channels. You went from one of my favourites to the bottom of the lot. Good luck with it!
