'The Happening' Not So Happening

People are killing themselves for no apparent reason. Like zombies, they stand in their tracks and then do something horrible to themselves. Sounds like a cool premise for a movie, huh? It could have been. I was expecting a good "horror" or suspense flick from all the ads (and the "R" rating). I had expected to get some really cool plot twist which turned everything on its head. I didn't get that. What did I get? A liberal "save the planet" BS message that even then wasn't really explained. The gore wasn't even that impressive and this could've easily been a PG-13 movie.

I get it. The planet is in peril. Mankind is to blame. We're rapidly destroying the earth with our crap and it's all our fault. But plants killing us? Are you freaking serious? This is all you got Mr. Shyamalamalalalalalalan? For the love of God, hang it up--you've just given up your right to be a director. License revoked. After 'Lady in the Water' and this, I'm done. You lost me at 'The Sixth Sense'.

No hint of Hitchcock here, just a bad flick from start to finish.
