Boring & stilted best describes Zooey Deschanel's acting and the script. Too bad one can't get their money back after enduring this terrible film. M.N.Shyamalan's last three films have been flops. Not the brillant director everyone though... full review

We saw this film yesterday & can honestly say it was awful. A child could have written a better script & screenplay. It really had no real story, they seemed to be making it up as they went along. A mess from start to finish. The shock scenes w... full review

'Shyamalan says that The Happening was his easiest film to shoot. Sadly, it shows. A disappointingly slight offering from a filmmaker that we know is capable of so much more.' full review

Went to see it yesterday. Unlike most people I actually thought his last two films (Lady in the water and The Village) were good films, sure, not up to the likes of Signs and the Sixth Sense, but good non the less. The Happening is still a good film, j... full review

M.Night Shyamalan used to be good. Now I just dunno what to think. This movie has no final twist and basically no point. Avoid or regret. I regret spending my money on this. full review

The plot is nonsensical and preachy - complete with gratuitous scenes of self violence that seem just thrown in at random. The acting is horrible and the screenplay is even worse. The directing is shockingly bad - THERE IS A SCENE WHERE THE BOOM MIC IS IN... full review

The most boring film I have ever seen. The acting was pathetic, the whole story line was weak and unsustainable. I will not be recommending this film to anyone. This film was a waste of money and an absolute waste of a good Friday night out. full review
