The Happening

the happening

M.Night Shyamalan has quickly turned into one of the biggest jokes in Hollywood. After a bright start to his career he embarked on what seems like a never ending streak of stinkers and any faith left in the man has quickly evaporated.

Back in 2009 he gave us The Happening, a horror film that was about a plant that was making people kill themselves. Yes, you read that right, some plants that make people kill themselves.

The Happening was a new low  by Shyamalan’s standards and was laughed at by audiences everywhere. Since its initial release however the film has been given a new life in the ‘so bad its good’ category of cult film.

The film features the key ingredients- a big name actor making a fool of himself, awful dialogue, a ridiculous plot and of course a trademark Shyamalan twist at the end.
