Amazon.com:
You'd expect the end of the world to be no day in the park, but in M. Night Shyamalan's The Happening, a day in the park is where the end begins. One otherwise peaceful summer morning, New Yorkers strolling in Central Park come to a halt in unison, then begin killing themselves by any means at hand. At a high-rise construction site a few blocks over, it's raining bodies as workers step off girders into space. And all the while, the city is so quiet you can hear the gentle breeze in the trees. That breeze carries a neurotoxin, and what or who put it there (terrorists?) is a question raised periodically as the film unfolds. But the question that really matters is how and whether anybody in the Middle Atlantic states is going to stay alive. The Happening is Shyamalan's best film since The Sixth Sense, partly because he avoids the kind of egregious misjudgment that derailed The Village and Lady in the Water, but mostly because the whole thing has been structured and imagined to keep faith with the point of view of regular, unheroic folks confronted with a mammoth crisis. Focal characters are a Philadelphia high-school science teacher (Mark Wahlberg, excellent), his wife (Zooey Deschanel) and math-teacher colleague (John Leguizamo), and the latter’s little girl (Ashlyn Sanchez). Instinct says get out of the cities and move west; most of the film takes place in the delicately picturesque Pennsylvania countryside, with menace hovering somewhere in the haze. There are no special effects (apart from a wind machine and some breakaway glass), but the movie manages to be deeply unsettling in the matter-of-factness of its storytelling. Especially effective is its feel for what we might call the surrealism of banality. One warning sign that someone has been infected by the neurotoxin is irrational or erratic speech and behavior, yet Shyamalan has a genius for dialogue that sounds normal and everyday as it's spoken, yet flies apart grenade-like a second later as its logic (or illogic) sinks in. Then there's Deschanel's eye-rolling dodginess about the messages some guy has been leaving on her cellphone. Or the fellow (Frank Collis) who addresses his greenhouse plants as though they were his children--has a stray toxic zephyr wafted his way, or is this just his idea of normal? --Richard T. Jameson

Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Could have been better but could have been worse
The concept of the movie is awesome. It really makes you think. But the movie could have had more potential to be so much better. I watched this in the theater which I think is the best way to see it. If at home, watch in the dark. But you can't beat suspenful. Once again M Night does not disappoint. If you like The Happening, then you will like Signs.


Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Without value.
This is really a terrible movie. Makes you wonder why anyone would actually choose to be part of something so bad. Mark Wahlberg has apparently forgotten what acting is, and Zooey Deschanel as his wife seems lost in space or perhaps spaced and lost. Totally without value as even the script is worse than bad. Don't waste any time viewing.


Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Check the $1 bin at your local wal-mart for this one...
I want to say upfront, I'm not an M. Night Shyamalan basher. The Sixth Sense was great, Unbreakable was pretty cool too, and I even thought the Village was OK. But there is no excuse for this poorly executed disaster of a film. The film's concept itself, that plant life weary of humans polluting the planet cause us to spontaneously commit suicide, isn't such a bad one. But the way the story is told, with zero nuance, subtlety, or credibility, completely derails the plot.
Here are the main ... Read More


Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Held my interest up to a point.
I would not consider myself a M. Night Shyamalan fan, however I did enjoy 'The Sixth Sense' and to a lesser degree 'Signs' and consider 'Unbreakable' to be his best so far. On first viewing 'The Village' I was lead to believe that I enjoyed it even though the twist was pretty obvious for me, but on second viewing the plot holes stick out a mile and I now have no time for it and feel somewhat ashamed of myself for being sucked in on the the first viewing! I also hold my hands up and confess to enjoying ... Read More


Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Surely as mis-titled a movie as there has been in a while...
It's a B-movie. No other word to describe it. And as a non-intellectual throw-away B-movie, it's not that bad. However it comes laden with expectation - it's a Shymalayan movie - so what's the hook, and what's the twist!
Well, the hook is that mysterious deaths start occurring in the NE of the United States. Confusion reigns, as the news alternates between fear this is a terrorist attack, to the gradual realization this is.. well, just in case you haven't seen it yet I won't spoil the only `surprise' ...
