A Truly AWFUL film


I got as far as the scene in the field when Mark Wahlberg tells Zooey Deschanel about the really good looking Pharmacist behind the counter in the Pharmacy, and that was my lot.

Awful acting, simply terrible from everyone, and the script they had to deal with was even worse.

I couldn't stop laughing.

I agree, it's one of my favorite terrible movies.

Always nice to see a movie that's "watchably bad" just because it ends up being hilarious.

It feels like a spoof in places, like it belongs with the "Scary Movie" types.

I like how you put it, "watchably bad". Because, it is bad, but also, I found it very entertaining to watch. I mean, Mark Wahlberg talks to a plastic plant! Where else are you going to see that?

People running in fear from gentles breezes, just a riot.

I hated those two annoying boys that join them for like five minutes, and absolutely loved it when their heads get blown off (though it was a bit shocking for it to happen so quickly and suddenly). You don't see that very often either!

Shyamalan really landed ass backwards on a great movie (for all the wrong reasons lol).

Try sitting thru in a theater with your family. Not a pleasant experience but we were glad we saw it I guess. That way we knew how bad it was.

I don't think it's nearly as bad as a lot of people say it is. There are some genuinely creepy scenes, and I've certainly seem plenty of other films that are far less entertaining than The Happening.

I agree. It’s definitely cringe worthy at parts but it was entertaining.
