What really is Happening?



He have taken ghost, then aliens in a farm, Unbreakable bald hero, then weird stuff happening in a village, and finally a Girl near a pool. Yes M. Night have made it all into box offices hits, but with special ingredient call twist.

Now he directing he's first R rated film call the Happening, does it have the touch that he always give, or is it another that's the people know what surprise is gonna have? Here my review:

Like in any day, Central Park is having the same winding day like any other, people walking, some are sitting in the bench reading, or eating, when all of sudden they stop, and star repeating the last word they said, to just finish it by killing themselves. By that time we meet a science teacher Elliot Moore(Mark Wathlberg) where the school call all teacher to notify the happening, Thinking that it is a terrorist attack, other something else. Elliot head home to get hes wife Alma Moore(Zoey Deschannel) going to the train station to meet up with a friend Julian(John Lequizamo) and her daughter. By the moment they get into the train, is stop by near town, where they eat in a dinner, and watching the news reporting that is occurring in Northeast, by then scare and panic they head to a safe zone where the infection can get to them, but later Elliot find out if they travel in large group they die. So now is up to him to save her wife and the girl, for not killing one of other, facing other paranoid people, to taking shelter in a old women house. They say the plants are out to get us, for what we doing to the planet? or is it a conspiracy of the USA goverment? or a leak from a nuclear plant? what the reality then?

The acting of mark Walthberg ain't that good, he's acted more like a teen heartdrop, then he's performances of a dirty harry character. Always doing he homework to getting out of a jam. Doing the math, or thinking like a nerd. Zoey Kind like hers, the emotionest wife, always thinking the worst, and then is john Which really i didn't get he's beef against Zoey what it was about they should have reveal more detail on those character, then just letting fight anyway.

The story for what is focus on is non other than global warming, i mean seriously the plant doing this, well is true to what is happening to most harvest, they 're not doing very well. By hard for me to believe that person can kill himself by breathing the toxins they release. That the cause confusing , that later comes non movement, than death, is hard to believe that. I saw the movie more like a display of killing, that seriously is some most disturbing, that this film have to offer, the tag killing where a person shoot himself than later drop it, for another person pick it and do the same thing, continuing it until there's nobody else to pick it.

There some scare moment, like he first the 6 sense, but there ain't that much suspence, i mean the killing scene ain't that bloody, or gory. But more uncomfortable to see, for Shyamalan making he's first R rated was kind of a lost. The film ain't boring or not even scary, the man know you scare people, but he doesn't know to turn it into a horror.

Reality, the film doesn't accomplish any interest in the character or the story, this feel much as pg-13, i mean seriously if ye want some scare try to learn it from Rob Zombie Halloween, was i name it the best scare of 07. So for better or worst he better tick with pg-13 suspense, than R. Cause you need more than suicide of people, to make this film into another hit.

Next stop Wall-e and wanted
