The Happening (2008)
2/10
Intriguing premise, poor execution
30 October 2022
Warning: Spoilers
This might be one of those cases when a movie is "so bad that it's good". Or not. Cheap drama, overly dramatic music playing when it's completely unnecessary, characters without any depth... Come on, the protagonist is a biology teacher who is worried about bees disappearing, but doesn't believe that the plants could be the perpetrators? And the story is just all over the place, too. It's a truly stupid film. The premise, however, that plants could suddenly start poisoning humanity and make humans commit suicide, is quite interesting and could be worthy of a better execution. Maybe a remake could be made, but the screenplay should be improved upon by a lot. This could be transformed into a decent disaster flick.
