“The Happening”: freaky good
After two sub-par movies, M.Night Shyamalan returns with a solid suspense movie that plays right into our modern day cultural concerns about terrorism and government conspiracies !!! “The Happening” doesn’t play around… its bold and right in your face with the opening scene… its graphic and violent and earns its “R” rating.
“The Happening”
MY TAKE (no spoilers): Unlike some movies of this genre where the director takes time to develop the main characters or “the evil” … “The Happening” wastes no time getting right to the event itself… the “good guys” are then brought in and their quest to figure out what is going on and why begins.
