This movie was some hot steaming garbage juice.
It has a slow plot mixed with a few cheap scares and boring repetitive dialogue. Shyamalan needs to STOP writing B.S. and direct someone else's work, because he's good with building slow atmosphere, framing shots, and bringing out subtle but great acting from his stars.
I'm not going to give away the the plot twist, but I can tell you it's STUPID. If you've seen the trailer, you've seen the best parts.
If you don't heed my warning, you'll suffer from pissed-offed-ness, from having spent your money on this claptrap.
And DEAR GOD, everybody says "What's Happening?", "It's Happening", "The ___ is happening", etc. like 20 times. Logic goes out the door, so Shyamalan can include his not-so-subtle references to the title. It's trite as hell.
Now, that I've seen this mess, I truly believe he ripped off Stephen King's Cell, forreal. So, instead, read that and save yourself from this boring joke of a film.

PARENTS:
Nobody should see this horrendous, craptacular, movie.

There's not a chance that a worse movie is seen by more people this year. This guy is a total jerk by this point as far as I'm concerned.
Yo DCG!
I'm feelin' you on the Stephen King 'Cell' comparison. I didn't even see this joint (luckily) and I drew that comparison by just by watchin' the trailer. That one scene with the two women on the bench in the park - man, that's straight out of 'Cell'.
It's sad to see Sha Na Na sink so far so fast. I agree that he needs to direct a tight script from someone else for a few so he can remember that a great movie is comprised of great directing *and* a great script.
Peace@Least!

I had such high hopes for M.Night and he let me down again. It was a sad movie, the ending was sad, the antagonist was very very sad.
He needs to stop writing his own stuff and stick to the chair and maybe he will get back in game.
The Cell? Well you had a visual enemy, something to fight in the novel in the form of the zombie types but in "The Happening" ... you got the wind. (sorry, spoiler) Gagh!!!
