What's happened

Indeed, you can also be called a movie for a day without moving against the Empire State Building, and someone will applaud it. But if you are going to use it to sell for money, then somehow make people know what you want to do.
The atmosphere of this movie is indeed the best among the horror films I have seen recently, and my expectations for it are also raised a little bit, and then I just hang on and not let it down.
Many places in this film have not been explained, not only the source of the virus and the method of infection, but also a series of doubts about Julian's inexplicable dislike of Alma and the seemingly perceptive Jess. It feels like it's just a part of a series. I can see that Shyamalan wants to express the concept of environmental protection and human introspection, but since human beings are so dull that you need to use movies to teach you, why not just make it clear.
The only advantage of this movie is that if you remove the subtitles for loop playback, there is no feeling of unsmoothness.

    That is to say, the atmosphere is not bad...a bit anticlimactic

    What a waste of my precious 90 minutes, full of Indian English, it sounds so awkward. It looks like a disaster movie, but the explanation of the source of the disaster is so absurd and unacceptable that I even went to the DVD to watch it. I really regret it.

The Happening quotes

  • Private Auster: My name is Private Auster. I'm stationed at Westover Military Base about ten miles back. I think they've been affected by whatever's happening. I lost communication with them. When I approached the base, I saw military personnel in... the barbed wire in... the fence. So I suggest no one take that road.

    Nursery Owner: There's a town about eight miles behind us. There were bodies on the road into town.

    Private Auster: Cheese and crackers.

  • Private Auster: [yelling while becoming disoriented] My firearm is my friend! It will not leave my side!
