    warning!!!

    DO NOT see this movie if you think it's going to be good like "Signs" or "The sixth sense". I wasted 90 minutes of my life watching this film, it was rubbish, the acting by everyone was rubbish, the plot was rubbish, the script was rubbish!! 90 minutes of rubbish!!

    I'm so glad I didn't pay to watch this (friend at cinema!) if I had, I would have asked for my money back! I was actually shocked by how bad this film was when I left the cinema. I wouldn't even watch it on dvd or the tv. It wasn't even a good B movie, god knows who actually financed it.

    What a waste

    This film is without a doubt the worst film I have ever seen.

    I have never been so annoyed at myself for wasting nearly 2 hours of my life watching it.

    It was not in the least bit scary and was filled with pointless bits to try and make it so.

    There was so many parts in the film that had no relevance whatsoever to the actual overall story or that played any part in getting to know characters or to even pad out the film.

    I would say you should see it because it was so awful I could not quite believe it.

    If i'd picked a random film I hadnt heard about and then found it to be as bad as the happening, I wouldnt have been too disappointed. But the fact the hype behind it was incredible, labelling it the 'scariest film this year' made it a huge disappointment.

    At one point the microphone of the film crew actually bobs down above the actors heads.

    This film is so bad I actually thought it was a spoof.

    DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY WATCHING THIS MOVIE.

    The Happening

    • 11 Jun 2008

    M Night Shyamalan is drawn to the supernatural like a moth to a light. So when a bunch of high school biology students kick around theories for the unexplained disappearance of tens of thousands of honey bees in the last couple of years, it's no surprise that the hypothesis their teacher, Mr Moore (Mark Wahlberg) likes best is that this is a natural event we will probably never fully understand. Let that be a lesson to us all, because while audiences will probably spend a good deal of the trim Read more
