FirstShowing.net —
... interested in with The Happening is just finding out what the heck the "apocalyptic crisis" actually is! The only hint is that it was originally described as an "eco-thriller" and the threat is a "natural crisis." Does that mean we're going to see tornadoes take on a mind of their own? Anyway, screw all of you Shyamalan haters out there, his movies are fantastic! It's all about the discovery of the twists, and I know there's going to be something huge in this.

An American colleague tells me he was told by a publicist today that there will be no advance screenings of The Happening, the first R-rated film from M. Night Shyamalan.

Movie Reviews Review: The Happening By Brian Orndorf, Senior Reviewer The opening movement of "The Happening" ( IMDb listing ) is a virtuoso guitar solo of alarm.

Night Shyamalan has ever committed to the screen, launching his latest picture on a giddy note of assured doom; a chilling introduction to the human race's greatest adversary: the unknown. When a deadly toxin is released into the air, it causes the public to lash out in violent ways, rolling out waves of suicides that officials are baffled by. When the ...

M. Night Shyamalan's new film The Happening (2008) stars Mark Wahlberg, Zooey Deschanel, and John Leguizamo. This movie marks the first film he's every written and directed that was given an 'R' rating. The film contains several morbid scenes involving people committing suicide through various methods including one twisted moment when a guy gets run over by a tractor sized mower. The Happening isn't a horror film in the goriest of ways when it is compared to any of the films that Wes Craven or George Romero had directed in the years past.

In the first decade of the third millennium, a fair argument can be made that the primary anxieties we are dealing with, certainly in the United States, are the random acts of arbitrary violence called terrorism, and humanity's destruction of our planet's environment. Both of those things have been looked at in plenty of films, but to the best of my uncertain knowledge, no one movie has tried to collect both of those ideas in one place. Until M.

... The best thing I can say about The Happening is that I never saw director M. Night Shyamalan in one of his increasingly obnoxious "performances" in his latest film. It’s a cautionary tale about an attack on the Northeast US of unknown origin. Is it a neurotoxin like Sarin gas launched by terrorists? Is it an isolated event in New York City? Or is it something more primal? Whatever the case, it seems to make people kill themselves. It’s an interesting premise, but like most of Shyamalan’s later work, it’s marred by bursts of pretentiousness, bad acting ...

The Moon is a Dead World // horror movie reviews —
The Happening A lot of flack has been thrown at director M. Night Shyamalan regarding The Happening. Either his stories aren't up to par or they're just too weird, or the twists he's thrown in aren't entertaining enough, or he hasn't thrown in twists. The poor guy had so much success with his first outing The Sixth Sense that it's been hard to come back with anything more than a mediocre outing to the public eye. The same has happened with The Happening, except in a more emphasized manner. Lady in ...
