The franchise of M. Night Shymalan will forever go down as genius or as the biggest hoax in movie history. Now I could be like every other website out there and give my personal opinion on why I hated the film, and I know that’s why you are reading this. That is not what I’m going to do. Instead I am going to give you a plot summary in my own words and let you draw your own conclusion on if it’s good or not.

           The Happening fucking sucked!! Just kidding. The movie stars Mark Wahlberg as a high school science teacher that is interrupted one day by the principal asking all faculty to meet in the schools auditorium. They found out in New York there are people breaking out in mass hysteria and committing suicides left and right. The people are urged to evacuate the city so he is joined by his fellow co worker John Leguizamo and strange bride who receives phone calls from a guy named Joey in the first segment. The plague seems to hang over the northeast area and even train have to stop where they are going. They get off and find out the strange happenings are taking over the northeast stretching from New York to Philadelphia.  John Leguizamo’s wife is in Princeton New Jersey so he needs to separate from his daughter to make sure she is ok. Other stuff I can’t tell you happens as Wahlberg Bride and girl head the other way towards farm land and The world is looked at very differently according to mother nature form this point on. I can’t say shit else except for M. Night will remind you more of a twilight zoneesque then actual Hitchcock director like he is trying to be.

Though I will say look before you take with this one.
