The Happening
Nearly impossible to tell it’s from the same guy who made The Sixth Sense, The Happening may well be the most astoundingly and entertainingly awful piece of dreck to get a wide release this year. It’s an embarrassingly schlocky eco-apocalyptic thriller about an airborne toxin that’s causing people to kill themselves in New York. Evacuation is ordered, and one of the many fleeing is science teacher Elliot Moore (Mark Wahlberg) and his wife Alma (Zooey Deschanel), who end up wandering in the countryside with a bunch of strangers running away from… the wind. The film’s sheer ineptitude is mind-boggling. There’s not a single moment in the film that doesn’t feel like it was beamed in from another planet. Adding insult to injury is the fact that the film builds to absolutely NOTHING whatsoever. Wooden beyond belief, Wahlberg gives both a career-worst performance and the worst performance of any film of the past year.
