What’s Happening?

Talk about a colossal fail. M. Night Shyamalan’s latest film, the Happening, recently made its way to DVD. And, for some stupid reason, we thought it might be enjoyable. I mean, the trailer was pretty cool, right? People killing themselves en masse, for no reason? Intriguing. Unfortunately, the movie fails to deliver on any level. Any level except the one where things suck so bad you want someone to stab you in the leg with a fork to distract you. And Mark Wahlberg, an actor who I usually enjoy (especially in the excellent Shooter), was so horrid I felt myself wishing that M. Night had cast someone like Carrot Top in the main role. Retarded he may be, but he would have done better than Wahlberg. Hands-down. Anyway. Avoid this fucking film like the plague. Unless you want a good laugh. Then you’d totally love it.
