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

 LOVED IT! November 22, 2008
I'm a huge M. Night Shyamalan fan. I love everything he does, even the ones that don't go over big with the public. BUT, this one, EXCELLENT! I sooooo appreciate psychological terror, Blood and gore do nothing for me. This one will scare you.
 totally hated this November 21, 2008
It was horrid, and the acting was very childish.
The story line was worse.
Disappointing November 21, 2008

This is a "B" or even a "C" movie with first-class funding and cinematography. The story sucks, the script doesn't improve on the story, and the performances are unimpressive. I'm a fan of "Unbreakable" and "The Sixth Sense," as well as actors Mark Walhberg and John Leguizamo, but after the truly atrocious "Lady in the Water" and this completely pedestrian "B" movie (it probably should have been filmed and sold straight to the Sci-Fi channel, where it would have been great!) someone, somewhere, needs to step in and get Shamalyan's head straight.
Can you give it Zero stars? November 16, 2008

What a disappointment. This director/writer is the worst. The movie had such potential with the initial idea but anticipation is better then the real thing. It has an enviromentalist agenda, which was very disappointing. I just wanted a scary movie with an interesting/new twist. Save your money, don't rent it or buy it. Put this director out of work!
It only cost a dollar... November 14, 2008

...to rent from the machine in Safeway but I wish I could get my money back. If you want a good scare, get the original "Invasion of the Body Snatchers". It has been a nightmare for over fifty years now. The Supremes song, "The Happening" was far more entertaining and well done than this time-waster of a movie.
