| Synopsis:
Mark Wahlberg stars as a man who takes his family on the run when a natural disaster threatens to end civilization. For years, the earth has been the victim of mankind's "progress," and the pollution has finally built to a point that causes a global backlash. An invisible neurotoxin is released into the air making the people in Philadelphia go crazy and kill themselves. The Happening is a paranoid thrill ride through this large-scale, cataclysmic environmental crisis that turns into a struggle by mankind to overcome nature. |

 Fun but stupid December 31, 2008
Ralph Maughan (Pocatello, Idaho USA)
The people being attacked do the exact wrong thing -- head for open countryside. According to the logic of toxic agent, they should have locked themselves in cellars in the city.
It is a fun but kind of gory movie, nevertheless.
 sucks December 19, 2008
J. Sharp (irving, tx)
this is a total waste of time. i usually like Mark Wahlberg but he just doesn't come off well as a teacher much less a science teacher....This movie just sucks.
 B-O-R-I-N-G!!! Just take a nap, it's cheaper. December 15, 2008

While I'm a big M. Night Shyamalan and Mark Wahlberg fan, this movie could not be more pointless and boring. If listening to wind and watching people kill themselves for no apparent reason is interesting to you, then this is your movie. Otherwise, find something else to do.
piece of garbage December 7, 2008

I don't know if I can express in words how bad the acting is in this movie. Let me try... My kids watched Spykids 3 this afternoon and it was better acting than this movie. Very slow and pretty much went nowhere. Overall I think the movie was pretty pointless.
To boot, I got charges twice for this piece of garbage. Thanks Amazon!!
Disappointed December 4, 2008
Stewey (Oakland, MD)
I had high hopes for this movie, but was gravely disappointed when I sat down and watched it. Not once did it scare me, and I am giving it such a low review because I don't like movies where kids are killed. The acting was mediocre also. Definitely not Mark Wahlberg's best performance by far.
