The Happening (DVD, 2008, Canadian; Pan and Scan; Sensormatic; Widescreen)

M. Night Shyamalan (The Sixth Sense, Unbreakable, The Village, Lady in the Water and more) has done it again with The Happening.

Mark Wahlberg (The Departed, Invincible) Plays Elliot a science teacher in Philadelphia. Elliot hears of an attack on New York and along with his wife played by Zooey Deschanel and some of his friends they make plans to 'get out of dodge.'

The story progresses as Elliot and his party learn more and more of what is really going and as they try to avoid it. This all builds up to a very stunning and strange ending to a great movie.

This movie will keep you on the edge of your seat throughout and will definitely entertain anyone who loves a great sci-fi/horror movie.

Rated a 5 of 5 for a great story line and great acting.

Do Not Miss This One..

This movie was one of those movies that looked bad but you went and saw in anyway and it turned out to be so bad that it was funny. I liked Zooey in Elf and like Wahlberg in many movies including Shooter but this movie was just so bad. The plot was really stupid and the twists I've come to expect from the director just weren't there. Plants putting toxins into the air that make people commit suicide? Thats just dumb. However, the movie is pretty unintentially funny. Would definitely not recommend it to anyone.

One of the scariest, gut-wrenching, thought-provoking movies in a long time. On parr with Mimic #1. If you are looking for your average, trite, run-of-the mill B-grade horror movie, then pass this one up. As the saying goes, and has been shown is quantum physics, truth is stranger than fiction and is scarier than anything Hollywood could come up with. Just ask yourself, what major, global catastrophe to human kind & our planet has not really been explored to its fullest? The answer will cause you not to sleep anytime. So, I'm on my way to tape all my windows shut, make sure all possible leakage to & from the outside are secured. Don't come by, I won't answer the door & no sense in calling on the cell. Remember to stay by yourself if you're single, or keep your family together away from the outside, and, most importantly, constantly express true emotional love for each other. If you think this couldn't possibly happen, you're in for a rude awakening. Research has already shown the steps leading to this are already there. Goodbye!

The concept behind “The Happening” is absolutely terrifying.

The story begins one morning in New York’s Central Park. People walking through the park become disoriented, lost in thought, repeating things they have just said & taking steps backwards. Then, they start killing themselves by any means available to them. Authorities are at a loss to explain the events, but terrorism is not ruled out. When a similar attack hits Philadelphia, high school science teacher Eliot Moore (Mark Wahlberg) and his semi-estranged wife Alma (Zooey Deschanel) – along with Eliot’s friend Julian (John Leguizamo) and his daughter Jess (Ashlyn Sanchez) – board a train for western Pennsylvania. The train stops abruptly in a small town because the conductors have lost contact with “everyone,” leading them to think their final destination has also come under attack. Elliot meets a man who owns a nursery, who suspects that the attacks are not terrorists but nature itself turning on man. Stuck in rural Pennsylvania, Elliot puts his science smarts to the test to stay one step ahead of nature, which is all around him.
Whats happening is anyone anywhere is not safe.
