The Happening

[FG_SPace]

So i just saw the happening and am i'm so happy. i was really afraid that after Lady in the water he'd be stuck in suck mode but this proved to be one of my favorite movies. while i can see a lot of people picking on the premise of it but really it was legitimately scary. it has a definite protect the environment agenda but honestly it is very entertaining on multiple levels. its An Inconvenient Truth (sorta) meets Romaro's The Crazies and i definitely suggest seeing it.

woo! I wanna see it soon

[Crabarms]

Thats nice, I wasnt for sure if it was going to be any good.

rotten tomatoes gave it a 20%..usually a bad sign for horror films
i don't think i want to see it anymore

i really disagree with the critics on that site. while i will admit to being a little bit of a M. Night-fanboy cause hes a local and the movies take place in places that i live this movie is a great turn around from the flop of Lady in the Water. Its not on par with Sixth Sense or Unbreakable it has some real good scares and is refreshing look at horror instead of more Saw and Hostel gross gore flicks. this does has its fair share of blood though. people in the theater were bitching about it though so maybe i'm the only one who really liked it

Yea and Yahoo gave it a C- for both users and critics.

His plot twists will never surpass or match up to the sixth sense...but then again that was easy to figure out too :\

I'm still gonna see it  the preview made me cringe and the guy does know how to make each shot pretty damn amazing

[ZekeySpaceyLizard]

i'll see it if I can see it for free.
i've liked all his films, but i already know the whole script of this film and i sure aint payin 8 bucks to watch it. no siree!

If you want to watch the happening, save yourself an hour and a half, and watch Hans' 20 short film he made a couple years ago. It's the exact same thing.

Evil Dead has 100% on Rotten Tomatoes.


That's alot more goofy than a real horror movie, but The Happening was a huge fucking B-Movie too.

that was really lame

the reason i liked m nights is because i found the concept really interesting (which im not going to say)

in this its just about a parasite that makes you depressed and then you kill yourself

plus the acting in this is even worse than m night's movie

It doesn't make you depressed, it just makes you kill yourself. Sure the acting was worse, but when watching both, I'd rather save myself the extra time from the Happening in the end.

Both of them were lame. I thought M. Night's concept was twice as lame as the parasite cause though.

those morons should have let hans van harken direct it instead of m night i mean let's face it folks 'its a halo thing' was brilliant

I saw it today. I kinda liked it cuz of the reason why they were dying. It seemed kinda... logical in a weird sense.
but it was kinda predictable for me.
