The Happening Movie Review

the_happening1

I just finished watching the Happening on Star Movies.  Honestly, I couldn’t understand it.  All I know is that people started dying when the wind blew through them.

So I have to read the plot through my favorite site, wikipedia 🙂

There was an epidemic wherein if a person get affected, he/she stands motionless first then ends up killing himself/herself.  It’s airborne so people get easily affected.

There were scenes that are hard to watch:

  • People jumping off high buildings one by one
  • People hanging themselves
  • a Man letting a mower ran over him
  • People firing guns at themselves
  • survivors killing 2 kids because they were trying to break in their house
Mark Wahlberg’s character together with his family & friends spent most of the time running away from the epidemic.
After awhile, it just stopped.  So people went back to their lives.  Not knowing that what happened was just a warning.
The movie ended just like how it started.  People started killing themselves again.
I’m kinda confused, I dont know what to feel.  I’m not sure if I liked the movie or not.  But what I’m sure of is I ended up stunned & wondered what I have watched 😛

My Rating for The Happening: 2 out of 5 stars.

    It was weird, and it didn't really grip my interest. If this is an M. Night Shayamalan movie, I'm not very fond of his style after the Sixth Sense.
