The Happening 20% E (R rated)

Tagline: - We've Sensed It. We've Seen The Signs. Now... It's Happening.

Rated R for violent scenes and disturbing images.

I really dont know how to review this movie. It's totally NOT HAPPENING. When I went into the theaters, I didn't have much expectation, knowing that director M. Night Shyamalan has disappointed me time and time again ever since Signs in 2002. To be fair, his Unbreakable (2000) and Sixth Sense (1999) were commendable.

However, this one man show (Mark Wahlberg) really is too much. Yes, it does have a few other casts but the only one worth mentioning is Mark, and maybe the trees. I can perfectly accept movies with no logic, but this one is totally bizarre whereby the story builds up the all the suspense only to leave you high and dry with an ending that has neither logic nor explanation.

A real disappointment.
