The Happening

Good concept, but badly written (especially the script), the acting was forced, and the entire theater laughed out loud at times ... but it wasn't trying to be funny.

a big wast of money bad bad bad movie 0 stars from my whole family we all hated it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sucked didnt make sense

This movie was AWESOME!!!!!!!! I cannot wait to see the next Academy Awards ceremony to see how many awards this movie will get! I loved the plot. It was very deep and well thought-out. Two thumbs up!! Way UP!!!!!!!!

Acting was questionable, but I'm wondering if it was maybe meant to be a B Movie.

-5 stars Do not waste your time! Worst movie I've ever seen! Wanted $$$ back before the movie even ended! Bigest regret besides going to see the movie is not walking out part way through.

Bad movie and bad acting. Although the concept can be interesting... its like a wanna be zombie type movie with the violence. The acting was bad. And to top it off, Mark kept his shirt on the whole time. :(

An astounding waste of celluloid, money and time.

after watching this movie I learned: 1. if 9 out of 10 people said it's bad. then it sucks. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY. i should have listened. 2. don't let your curiosity control you. it kills your time and money. 3. don't even wait for DVD

People need to be open minded.

worst movie ever!!! horrible i was laughing at how bad the acting and story line was! If u want a good laugh go here..stupid boring and TERRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ohh my god.. this was the worst movie ever !! I didn't even know a movie could suck this bad!

No matter how bad this movie is, it's still 100x better than Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

worst movie ever! don't waste your time watching it. acting was brutal, story line itself was stupid amd the ending didn't make too much sense. i give it a 1 star.

It sucked. Sixth Sense was so much better. I won't pay to go to another M. Knight movie. I was really surprised Mark Walberg took this role. I will read the reviews first on his next movie too.

I liked this movie i found it entertaining... its wierd and not a big twist like most of his movies but you'll cringe and laugh

horrible movie. acting is brutal and so is shyamalan

Good suspense but story is not relatable.

Stupid and boring. A rental at best.

The approx 20 minutes with Betty Buckley was the best of the movie. Skip the rest!

I gave it one star because you can't give 0 stars. Total waste of time this movie is.

For Shame!!!! Writing and story were bad enough but my god what bad acting. They should all never work again.

I'm a huge fan of both Mark Wahlberg and Shyamalan so I saw this movie in spite of all the crappy reviews. Turns out I should have listened. This is easily one of the WORST movies I have ever seen. Zooey whatever her name is needs some acting classes. The movie is more of a comedy than a thriller which isn't good since that isn't the intention. Definitely wait until it comes out on TV.

brutal, turned into an environmental movie

This movie was begging for some Bollywood-style singing and dancing sequences. It would have been priceless as a musical punctuated by all the gruesome suicide and one-dimensional relationship banter.

ok in places...plot was very underdeveloped..shamyalan can do much better then this...wait for the video

WORST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a load of garbage, this is more like a comedy than a horror movie. Avoid at all costs!!

Based on the old Supremes hit of the same name, The Happening delivers; it's great!

I could really empathize with the characters in this movie...I too wanted to kill myself halfway through the film.

If I have had more excitement sitting in a hospital emergency waiting room for 5 hours to have a splinter removed out of my behind. Truly a SLEEPER!!!! If you can't take sleeping pills or aren't able to fall asleep after downing a gallon of alcohol...this would work. PLEASSSSSSSSSSSSEEEE...if you are even slightly tempted to see this movie...WAIT TO RENT IT.

In spite of having an interesting concept and being packed with disturbing scenes, this movie didn't work for me. It's one of those movies that you give the benefit of the doubt and expect it to get better, but it just leaves you dissapointed. I've always thought that Mark Walberg was an OK actor, never giving us a remarkable performance, but this is downright comical and not in a good way. I think you could have picked any one of the dim-wits from the "The "Hills" and they would have given an equal performance. Now I realize why I haven't seen him doing any press for the film. It's one that he'll want to erase from his resume.

If you think grass blowing in the breeze is scary, this is the movie for you! We walked-out. If I had to guess, the budget for this movie would be about $20.05 (5 cents for some stuffed dummies they tossed - off a roof).

it has it's moments. comedy performance from mark walburg

I would give it 0 stars if I could. I can not recall any big screen movie as bad as this one. And I feel really bad saying this because I love Shyamalan's movies... but here, the acting was bad, the dialogues even worse. The plot was boring and most of the actions dumb and not understandable (e.g. having the windows open all the time even if they know about the toxins...??)

I don't know why everyone is so upset about this movie...sure it's not a Spielberg action packed thrill-ride, but it's very original. I guess I'm the only one sick of all the CGI effects that Hollywood is pumping out at us!!!

The few bright spots could not make up for the overall bad acting (with the exception of Walberg) and even worse script.

I've never seen a movie this bad in my life! right from the begining it sucked! at first I thought, oh well it'll get better... but it got worse! and it had the worst ending too! horrible!nothing sucks more than paying to see a movie that sucked!

The plot was really dumb but they did well for a stupid plot. little disturbing at times though 2/5 stars

I have to agree with over 50% of the people here. The entire theatre walked out feeling extremely dissapointed watching this movie. It's probably M Night's worst film and rather than be entertaining or trying to make you think, it basically just leaves most with a generally disturbed feeling, a bad taste in your mouth and $20 poorer for your time. If you truly do want to see this movie, wait for it on video, at least you'll only throw away $6 of your money.
