M. Night Shyamalan’s “The Happening”
Posted by admin on October 13, 2008
I got The Happening DVD in the mail, and was immediately looking forward to watching it. I’ve been a fan of most of M. Night Shyamalan’s films, and figured this one would be no different. Right now, I’m not real sure what I think of it. I know I enjoyed watching the movie while I was watching it, so that’s probably all that matters. Plus Zooey Deschanel was in it, so that is awesome. I’m definitely still a fan of Shyamalan’s movies, and will continue to see whatever movies he makes. This movie was promoted as being the “first R-Rated film” from M. Night Shyamalan.
From Netflix:
In this thriller from M. Night Shyamalan, a deadly airborne virus threatens to wipe out the northeastern United States. Fleeing from contaminated cities into the remote countryside, science teacher Elliott Moore (Mark Wahlberg) and his wife, Alma (Zooey Deschanel), fight to survive and discover the truth: is it terrorism, the accidental release of some toxic military bio weapon, or something even more terrifying? John Leguizamo and Betty Buckley co-star.
