The Happening

Nice enough opening. People start behaving oddly then attempt to commit suicide en masse. A bunch of construction workers suddenly leaping to their deaths from high scaffolding was quite horrific.

But it was all downhill after that.

Dreadful acting, and truly hammy dialogue.

Only really scary if you're genuinely scared of trees and maybe grass. Yes, grass. And grass doesn't look any scarier if you make the wind billow it around a bit. It's still just a field of grass. Woo.

Al - it's got Zooey Deschanel in it. Everything else is irrelevant.

its an M Night whatever his surnamme is film, says it all really, slow and dull.

I want to watch it next week. It can't be more worse than "The Lady of the Pond" - that 'Shallanmalla'-movie was really really bad. Everything else of him was O.K. in my opinion.

Sixth Sense O.K. Signs O.K. Village O.K. Unbreakable underrated O.K. Pond Lady not O.K.

I'd rather stay home and watch the remake of Funny Games than see The Crappening.

This little clip sums things up: "What a twist!"

Shamal... or however you spell his crappy name puts out shitty movies... only been selling movies off his one hit, 6th sense.... someday people will realize he's the director's equivelent to Soft Cell....

Could give 'The Signal' a rent. A decent little horror flick (not great by any means, but passable) with a not-too-shabby cover of Atmosphere appearing repeatedly in the film.

Are you guys shitting me!

Sixth Sense -- good (not excellent) Signs -- Fucking stupid Sillage -- even more stupid Unbreakable -- (ok I admit, underrated) pond lady --- shite and a half, but on par with signs and sillage....

The Sixth Sense was excellent for me. His other films though have gone through a steady decline.

Aw, I was really looking forward to seeing this.
