For the person that made the comment below: If this is the worst film you have ever seen, then they don't let you out very often.

Finally a review that doesn't have an agenda against Night. It's a good movie.

Far and away the worst movie I've ever seen. I left the movie and went to the box office to see if I could get a refund. I wish I had my $10 and my 90 minutes back
Pure trash

This movie is a total waste of time! Please do yourself a favor and save your money for something actually worth $10.50. I will never again see a movie by Night... He sucks!!

The best part of the movie was when some guy chucked his slush puppie at the screen and walked out apart from that the movie sucked donkey butt. I would rather watch woopie goldberg have sex with the powderpuff girls for 5 hours then ever consider going back to that god forsaken movie

The Happening is exactly what Shyamalan set out to create: a really great, creepy B-movie. I'd read the terrible reviews before seeing it last night, and agree that there are some dumb lines, but overall came away thoroughly creeped out. Forboding atmosphere throughout. Humor and horror mixed beautifully, as any B movie should have. I loved it.

I sat there and waited and waited for the scary part. Yes, all the deaths were horrible, new and creative ways to die...blah blah blah. Gross yes, scary NO. Is it possible for the enviroment to take over... look around it is already happening... no pun intended. I was bored to tears!

I was so looking forward to Night's new release, however, this one... so not worth the wait. I also just could not wrap my head around Mark Walburg being a whimmy hey lets just keep running kind of guy. I so wanted him to find a way to defeat it.

There were more laughs in the theater I was in than gasps of horror. The best part had to be the hotdog guy.. He was very amusing in an otherwise very dull movie. So I'm not sure if the writer of this artical and I saw the same movie or if he is just easily scared. He was right about the chick playing the wife.. maybe we should take up a collection and help her get some acting lessons... lol
