mcguinnessjames The beginning act is honestly fairly good and there are multiple performances which didn't make me question WTF I was watching. It had a decent buildup yet failed to execute in every way. Every suicide we see is fake looking and honestly embarrassing. Yet the concept is intriguing yet is bogged down by clichés of all manners with a ridiculous plot point about the plants and communication it just bores and loses you. Yet it's entertaining and if you're bored give it a go with some parts being downright hilarious. Such as the zookeeper being torn apart and the building site.

johndoeofkekistan I'm surprised no one has called this film "hilarious" in the IMDb reviews yet. The acting, dialogue, violence and overall plot are laughable and occasionally hilarious. Not as good (as in funny) as The Room or Robot Monster, but it has it's moments. 2/10 for filmmaking (there's one well done sequence in the old woman's house, and the beginning wasn't awful), 6/10 as a comedy.

thyagorm Horrible. Sincerely, a film completely without link, without a palpable and continuous history. It's just an extremely generic eschatological movie with the same US story being attacked by something hyper-evil, and the heartthrob hero being completely immune and smarter than everyone else.Worst movie I ever watched.

nuoipter termer The happening is a great movie. It's about something that effects humans in a way that makes them start killing themselves. First, people become confused. Then they kill themselves. It is revealed after some suicides that plants have released some sort of toxin into the air that reverses the survival instinct in humans, and therefore they want to kill themselves. The plants do this because of the bad effects people are having on the environment. The suicide parts are scary. Examples are a woman sitting on a bench next to another woman in New York City. This is the first suicide. The woman who kills herself tells the other woman she doesn't know where she is or something. The woman sitting next to her thinks she's joking and says something in response. The other woman then pulls something out of her hair and stabs herself in the neck with it. Other suicides include a man getting into a lion's pen at a zoo and a lion bites or tears his arms off. The movie is very scary and creepy and the plant's toxin thing is a very interesting idea. It's not as good as the sixth sense. It's way better than signs and way way better than lady in the water. Lady in the water is awful and signs is fairly bad. M. Night Shyamalan really came back good with this one.
