The Happening Horror Movie Review

The Happening Horror Movie Review

The Happening is a pretty bizarre horror movie. It was made by M. Night Shyamalan. The story is about a strange thing that happened. Like such movies, the tension is paper thin. One day in New York, everyone started killing themselves. They thought it was a massive bio terrorism attack. The reason they believed this was because only new york was being affected. Basically, this toxin represses mankind's self preservation desire. With this part suppressed, they begin to kill themselves.





Anyhow, the movie focuses on a family trying to survive. They are trying to get out of the affected area. From time to time, a strange wind comes up and the people nearby start getting affected by the toxin. Thus, the family needs to find a place away from that toxin. Along the way, they meet some odd characters. Overall, this movie shows how people react to a crisis.

Some come together and help each other out. Others use the "me" against the world approach. I remembered that one guy was killed trying to get inside a hermetically sealed house. Lastly, we have hermit old hags who are just plain nuts. Overall, this movie is pretty peachy. Specially, due to fact that humans are dealing with an unseen enemy. It sorta reminds you a bit of the black plague, the swine flu or any other old pandemic. In any case, the Happening deserves 5 stars rating.
