Perhaps this Happens to be a good time to save a few bucks.
"But the storyline ultimately feels sparse and unconvincing. It's like a Twilight Zone episode that has been unnecessarily stretched to 91 minutes. In place of surprise plot twists, the movie is littered with the aforementioned environmental warnings, scenes of people running away and macabre images of self-mutilation that further detract from the already paper-thin drama.
In the end, The Happening posits a brutal premise in an attempt to deliver a heavy-handed sermon about our place on the planet. The result is a misguided message-movie mishmash that just doesn't work ... and one that assaults Shyamalan aficionados with an unprecedented amount of carnage along the way."
