  • I loved the blood and gore!

  • So I guess there was...

    *puts on sunglasses*

    ...not much happening

    YEAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

  • "You're gonna be tense and shocked the whole movie" HAAAA hahahaha HAHAHA haaaa

  • I really enjoyed the movie, mainly for the acting. I'm not one to like a movie because of the actors in it, but I was really impressed with the work Mark Wahlberg and Zooey Deschanel did. Mark, somehow, kept a straight face while I was choking from laughter, and Zooey was hilarious, yet serious when she needed to be.

  • What? No!

  • I agree with Msakallioglu...this is one of the worst movies ever made.

  • that indian director is a one trick pony. why is he still directing movies?

  • @bradyischamp

    i actually love Night Shyamalan! I´m always looking forward for his movies. Of course, some are betters than others. The Happening wasn´t a great movie, but The Village, Sixth Sense, Signs, Unbreakable are amazing movies, at least for me. :-)

  • Guys I just watched this movie and wanted to comment on youtube.

    THIS IS THE WORST MOVIE I'VE EVER WATCHED. ACTING WAS REALLY BAD ALTHOUGH I LIKE MARK WHALBERG HE IS LIKE DRUGGED ON THIS OR SOMETHING.

    THE STORY AND THE DIRECTOR WAS TOTALLY FUCKED UP..!! I MEAN F - U C - K - E - D - -- -- U - P.

    Don't watch it!! Save yourself wasting an hour and a half of your life.

  • @msakallioglu you are just to stupid to understand the movie.....

  • @13l4CK Ok can you please fucking tell me wtf was the movie about genius ? I probably watched 4 times more movies than the episodes of family guy you watched. So try to enlighten me...

  • @msakallioglu

    you busy watchin them bullshit hollywood fuck mainstream movies

    you need to learn science man....

    this movie the happening may seem "stupid" to you..

    but there is things called messages....

    if you LIVE LIFE... then u can intercept these messages...

    i dont wanna go into a movie book review on the happening..

    but i ask of you... Please watch that movie AGAIN. (now) & you will be a bit more

    alert with REALITY.... another thing is watch every version of the news possible

    u'll learn.

  • @13l4CK I know the message. Stop cutting trees and plants down or they will release a toxin that will make you kill yourself....... are you serious?

  • @caller347 the real message was the government releasing chemicals..

    the trees is the scape goat to not put any HEAT on the govern

    because it is true

    aside from the movie

    the govern are working on new chemicals everyday

    Flouride in the water which decrease brain cells after a while

    making human beings dumbed out & being blind... mentally

  • @13l4CK What does the government have anything to do with the movie. They said it was the trees in the movie and your expecting me to believe it was the governent releaseing a toxin making people kill themselves?

  • @caller347 actually if you learn how to read between the lines

    you will learn that they talked about the government alot...

    the whole Trees & people killing themselves was just the movie takers

    ... every sci-fy movie have some crazy ness behind it..

    but the REAL story between the lines was the chemicals that was being produced from the plants & stuff...

    how many chemicals are put into the air absorbed by all plants.... plz learn how to think..

  • @13l4CK sorry I guess I'm distracted by how bad the movie is to really give a damn about some conspiracy theory.

  • @caller347 you know... i dont blame you.. because alotta movies nowadayz suck...

    has no type of universal intelligence behind it...

    but between scy fy movies & those teenage hippy movies....

    scy fy has more Questionable theories behind the movie...

    i dont mean scy fy as in 'godzilla vs megalon 2000' but as in, Science- theory fiction

    that isnt proven yet.. check out the chemicals MAN produces everyday, & check out

    deforestation, & how Tress recycle Air back into the atmos.

  • @13l4CK Alright I can agree that today"s movies don't hold as much value as they did back then, but I don't go see a movie just for some save the earth science lesson. I go to be entertained. I personnel love science fiction and some fantasy. Educational or not this movie was just stupid no matter how you look at it. BTW why do you skip lines? You've done that in almost everyone of your comments.

  • @caller347 I skip lines so its easier to read em

    soo it dont look like no big ass lump of word shit...

    i understand that you have your personally movie standards

    true, but

    If u had to Vote on movies like "the happening"

    "save the earth science / Global crisis" movies oppose to

    movies with religious activities like exorcist, antichrist "God is real / fake" movies...

    which movie would u preferably vote on

  • @13l4CK Well I can read everyones comments just fine. What do relgious movies have to do with this? Well to be honest. I personally perfer the religious activities movies. They seem to grasp my attention more then the save the world WITH SCIENCE crap. Sure science movies are interesting sometimes when it involves solving a mystery type of movie like Sherlock Holmes or something, but I'd rather whatch something like "Constantine" then this garbage.

  • @caller347 about people killing themselves... its not stupid nor crazy....

    people kill themselves when their overwhelmed with depression & stuff

    and or bad drug trips

    soo imagine a chemical which is strong enough to BLANK you out,

    no coherent stage at all...

    these is things u gotta ask questions about,

    because the movie, they were told to cover their nose & windows...

    its real deep when u get the hang of it tho...

    expands thought..

    who do u think created scientists? Curiosity

  • @13l4CK No I got the whole plot. Trees released a toxin that made people go an hero. At the end nobody really knew what the hell was going on and you realize the whole thing was just a clean the earth movie. I'm not impressed.

  • I turn off anything with a commercial WITHOUT WATCHING the video

  • i'm very scared when the zoo scene cames

  • "Tense throughout" lol, you eyeing my lemon drink?

  • what? noo

  • It was the first Movie ever, I decided to leave the cinema, to be honest!

  • @elreico the concept of the movie isn't that bad actually, but it's not well explored. I bet if someone decided to remake this with the same concept and had any originality and creativity it could be way better.

  • i love zooey deschanel <3

  • Mark Wahlberg is a bad actor nuff said.

  • Easily the dumbest movie ever made. 

  • @KingDingaLing090 It defently was!!!

  • @KingDingaLing090 yes!!!

    

  • @KingDingaLing090 right, ur movies r less dumbest... ohh seems like u have no movies... :(

  • @MauricioGMe Hahahahah!!! wow.

  • @KingDingaLing090 You must not have seen many films, then. There are thousands of atrocious movies that make this look like a cinematic masterpiece.

  • @mowingthefrontlawn A masterpiece to a dipshit maybe.

  • @KingDingaLing090 I'm just saying I've seen so many terrible films that are far worse than The Happening.

  • This is like Fringe in a short movie!

    Cant wait for Fringe to start again!

  • this film is piss

  • Zooey is a good actor and mad hot, Wahlberg is a great actor as well, but Shyamalan gradually lost his touch in his quest to be the next Hitchcock. I'm still hopeful though, maybe Airbender will allow him some room to find his individuality.

  • lol "you're gonna be tense and shocked during the whole movie" yeah right...

  • They should have called the Tree Whisperer, maybe he could have saved them!

  • i know this movie pretty much sucks, but i wish people would stop bashing it and just "enjoy" its gory sillyness...:P

  • the wind is coming, i dont get it.......

    everyone is killing themselves :DDDDDDDDD

  • I love this Zoey chick. I think it is so attractive for a brunette or darker haired person to have these sky blue eyes..it's such a contrast, yet so beautiful...

  • ZOOEY'S BEEN AROUND BEFORE HER.

  • He said Mark Wahlberg in a Boston accent.

  • 'My god, it was the trees! but... the trees have always been our friends...'

  • @SimonB198207 LOL

  • I do believe that those two actors may have been second guessing night...

  • Mark Wahlberg is SEXI !!

  • I walked out on this movie then I realized I was in my own house.

  • LOL i know right, i saw it in the other day and really cried for wasting so many moments of my life with that movie,

  • Zooey Deschanel is so damn HOT

  • yessssss

  • fuck u

  • I don't see that at all.

  • im surprised people told me "fuck you" just because i thought two people looked the same. do you really care that much? or do you have fun saying "fuck you" at every opportunity?

  • Haha! I know! As much as I would consider myself a fan of Zooey I can't say I'm upset about people mentioning how much she looks like Katy Perry. I mean, what's up with that? :P

  • good point. people on youtube uses cuss words and discouraging statements to lots of channels and videos. good point here :)

  • look out here comes the wind.run!!!!!. some load of shit

  • fuck u

  • This movie was so horrible.

  • Brilliant movie :)

  • you kids have no idea how great of an actor mark wahlberg really is. i was soo impressed. i mean, how can anyone keep a straight face throughout the entire movie without breaking a laugh? oscar worthy performance by marky mark.

  • It's called focus, and I can do it

  • @pibada2 so you're saying that the movie was done in one shot? LOL Obviously he must have laughed or done something wrong sometime during the shooting, but yeah he's a good actor.

  • @pibada2 what are you talking about? this wasnt a comedy u dummy

  • meh movie wasnt that scary. more of a....wth? y this happening? then u find out and your like oh....there getting more creative every suicide :D

  • Only people who live in Philly and the tri-state area could appreciate his acting in this movie. People said it was flat, but they dont understand that it was spot-on for a philly personality. He was very believable as a science teacher from philly or jersey or wherever he was from, they are flat compared to the bubbly personalities in California and the "charming" personalities in the south. Good movie, good acting. A+

  • ... the fuck are you talking about? People from Philly do things like grab a phone from a woman who just said she heard her sister die only to say, "I hear the wind!" or "Think, douchebag!" LOL, give me a break man, you just don't know good acting whatsoever.

  • Mark Wahlberg cant act for shit

  • he aint that bad... he only plays in shitty movies with shitty screenplays

  • I second that.

  • I hope your kidding.

  • ur comment and opinion sucks.

  • Zooey was the best choice for this movie! ;)

  • HONK HONK!!

  • "R" rated. It wasnt that bad, Was It?

  • horrible dude. dont watch it.

  • Specially for an R rating. Although it does turn my stomache heh

  • Mark Wahlberg Talks To Plants...

    Mark: Hey Plant, How's it hangin'? I like your leaves that looks really great..Say hi to your mother for me..

  • I've seen all these actors in other movies and they're all pretty good...so why were they so horrific in this movie? What the heck did M. Nighty say to them before? It's really weird, i just didn't get it.

  • the guy says unbreakable is a classic movie, i think it sucked, signs is better

  • i dont like this film that much

  • This movie was the funniest movie I have ever seen. I laughed so hard I almost cried -- throughout the WHOLE THING! And the behind the scenes are just as hilarious. Terrible Acting. Terrible Writing. I think Shyamalan must've made a bet with someone and lost. Oh well, it still brought me endless pleasure. A+

  • yeah i feel the same, after watching that me and my bf were making fun of it..like oh its happening..they said that for like 10 times or so in the moive

  • the very start was disgusting...

  • Appaling film, Mark Mark has 2 expressions throughout, all Zoe is does is blink her big peepers lol. The cough medicine scene (oh dear god) & the Marky talks to plant scene (someone please take the camera away from M. Nighty)

  • For me the movie was just ok. I think it would have been different with someone that Zooey actually had chemistry with. They also needed a better script between the two characters. With the lack of chemistry and a so-so dialect is what did the movie in. Now in the beginning you can believe they are a married couple having troubles, but in the end you just don't believe them as a couple mending fences and re-kindling the love.

  • brought this movie on dvd then put it on my ipod touch its not scary but mrs jones was a weirdo :)

  • how did you do that?

  • I must've watched in the wrong order then Deke, Planet Terror was fun, Deathproof was boring as hell, was it supposed to be?

  • Also like Q. Tarantino's Grindhouse flicks. When someone says the acting sucked in THOSE movies, all you can do is roll your eyes. Of COURSE it sucked! It was SUPPOSED to.

  • Look, you people who are saying the acting sucked, it was SUPPOSED to. M. Night said he was making a B horror movie and he was stepping outside his usual style. Sort of tipping his hat to the old B horror movies that inspired him to begin with. It's like when Peter Jackson made King Kong. The whole story was stupid, but that was beside the point. It was the first thing that inspired him to make movies.

  • look man i c where u comin from, but no1 got a feel of a B horror movie while wathcing The happening, and you cant just say your making a horror movie and it turns out to be a high school musical for example.

  • HAHA yea, "nice deaths especially the lawnmower" yea true, i watched last night ion sky, and a while ago

    i hate the way the woman in it is so quiet though like its freaky

  • Ya theres a scene were a dudes slitting his wrists.

  • is this movie gory?

  • only in some parts

  • are you high this movie isnt scary but nice deaths essecaly the lawnmower

  • i thought when the guy was getting eaten by the lions was a very interesting way to commit suicide, also very gory

  • His an amazing director and pretty much all his movies are great and to ppl talking shit about the happening ? Your idiots.

  • "His an amazing director... to ppl talking shit about the happening ? Your idiots." by Yungmoney

    Its so easy to pick out stupid liberals like you. next time try, he is or he's. YOU FUCKING IDIOT.

  • Honestly the story line had something missing...i didnt quite like it.

    buuuttt i thought the suicides were pretty interesting.

    soo over all for me, it wasent too bad. Definitly a freaky movie though!

  • What an opportunity to do a movie for M Night Schuymalan.

    I love the Deschanel sisters. :D

  • I do love them too! They're just great!

  • i wanna see this movie, but if its full of blood and gore i don't wanna see it

    so can somebody tell me if thre is blood and gore in it

  • this movie has some blood,but not so much gore.There is a part when some lions tear off Both of a mans arms,but realativly its ok.

  • are u a nancy ?

  • watz a nancy ???

  • dont watch this movie, i saw it yesterday... and its really bad, i was really disappointed

  • zooey looks so hot!

  • When i watched the film it freaked me out for weeks!

  • Really, people should understand that this film is intentionally this way. I honestly think that Shyamalan is pulling the piss out of films like these. Wahlberg's acting in the film plays this idea, I think he wanted this film to be a joke.

  • this movie sucks my boner

  • i loved this movie!

  • i hope this is sarcasm

    it sucked ass, was funny...not scary

    complete failure IMO

  • it was a really really good movie i didn't say anything about it being scary. it was just good it was really funny in parts and i agree it was not the scariest movie ive seen i just said i loved it

    ~*~*Ripley*~*

  • did you absorb drug before watching it ? you are f*** up bro !

    It was the pointless movie ever made !!!

  • Nearly all movies are pointless.

    They're made to be entertaining.

    God. Chill out.

  • you saw movies are pointless but people consider film and cinema there passion. how about i saw music is pointless.

  • Ben Affleck?

  • I saw this movie on theater he done really good job, i got freaked out on some part of the scene.

  • Yeah, Shamalamadingdong, there sure are some "Taboo" things that happen in this film........like the overwhelming amount of sucking it does.

  • this movie was great and most of his movies are to complex for some losers to comprehend.

  • are you nuts? lmao! i'm sorry, but emily and zooey look so young! there is no way in hell that zooey even looks like her daughter...lmao.

    :D

  • its not suppose to be horror. its like a simile to show what we are doing to our planet and what MIGHT happen if we continue. I think the atmosphere behind this movie is too complex for you simple minded idiots out there.

  • Hear hear.

  • boring. the wasnt even that much gore. im 9 and my dad let me see it.

  • If you're nine, what are you doing on this site?

  • ha!

  • so, i saw fuckin sex scenes wen i was younger then u.

  • is zoe deschannel emily deschannel's daughter?

    i've never seen this film!!!

  • she is zooeys sister there is only four years between them

  • thanks coz that name deschannel is'nt very common!

  • piece of shit.

  • Sorry, but the movie wasn't scary to me at all...

  • its not a horror. its a psychological thriller, i believe. people don't like it cause it has a message they don't understand. basically, we should stop treating our planet so badly or it will defend itself. people dont like it cause all people want to do is keep using up natural resources and driving cars and all sorts of things.

  • Yeah of course it's a psychological thriller, it's not like BLOOD & GUTS GOREFEST MANIA. I mean I liked the movie, but it wasn't really scary... to me

    Not putting down the movie or anything.

  • I really really enjoyed this movie! Loved it without question.

    Mark Wahlberg is such a brilliant actor!

  • I loved this movie too!!!!!!!! I can't understand why so many ppl didn't like it:(

  • cuz it was fucking stupid.......

  • Yeah I know. It was a good movie. It was scary, it was funny, it was intense, it was like everything all in one... I can't wait to see it again!

  • Wow, you are easily entertained. This movie sucked big time. The acting sucked, the writing sucked, the plot sucked, the editing sucked. Every aspect of this movie sucked. Even the title sucked. It sucked so bad I walked out before it ended. I'll never pay to see another shyamalan movie. Sixth Sense was good, but ever since then each of his movies has sucked more than the last.

  • sucker@@@ poor y.

  • u didnt like unbreakable?

  • i dont know what to think about this movie. can´t believe, that the director of one of the most "beautiful" killing scenes (like the one in "the village" between a. brody and j.phoenix) does all the worse parts of "the happening" without intention. the dialogs, the cutting, the bad cast, the clichees... i still have hope, that there was a certain intention behind it, and i think, i gonna watch it again, just to improve. but... if not, then... this was no good movie at all.

  • HAHA YEAH SOME PARTS WERE SOOOO FUNNY

  • "el sucediendo" .. en español :) jaja que cagada...

  • Why they don't show the lawlworthy scenes in this "teaser"

    Old lady: "why you eyein' mah lemon drank?"

    and

    Guy: "you like hotdogs?..."

    oh and

    The "emotional" scene where Leguizamo hands over his daughter and Zooey cracks a smile.

  • This movie is hilarious

  • oh man..sum ppl ought to get their records straight 1st! being a RACIST is one thing but to be prejudiced and not keeping up to date with the world's events is like duh! the Meeks are rising dude, b4 u knw it!

    P.S Kentan .. plis start watching CNN and keep urself updated wit country's economy,inflation etc and then run ur mouth .. bcoz rite now ... it isnt doin too well.

  • for me the most shocking part were the 5 first minutes, you know : the workmen on the roof, dropping. such a dreadful scene. it s a clever movie : chemical changes : no more survival instinct. i was impressed with the idea behind the whole movie, it just made me shiver all the way back home.

  • The scariest thing is someone green-lighted this PoS.

  • I saw this movie last night and just about jumped out of my seat at one point. It has some very tense moments, some graphic scenes of death and suicide, and is not for the faint of heart, in my opinion. Too scary for children, and I suspect, too disturbing for some adults. The movie makes its point quite well, which is: let's take care of our natural resources. For a scary summer evening flick, go see it.

  • yes , i saw it too last week, great movie, tense as you say and clever, real smart movie !

  • omg i totally agree!!! one of the best horror-thrillers ive seen in a loooooong time. i honestly didnt like the choice of actors. especially mark wahlburg i dont like his acting. but def going to get this on DVD!!!

  • yes, definitely a dvd must have ! ;o))

    bless you Thegirlnextdoor215

    ps : i adooored Mrs Deschanel in this movie, she looked so spaced out and cuuute !

  • the scary thinng is that there are no physical or visible threat. people always fear what they dont understand. its definatly not a movie worth $10 but it makes you tihnk alittle

  • I got my pants on now

  • I don't care what anyone thinks, Shyalaman is one of the greatest innovators in cinema today.

  • shyalaman: you are going to be tense and shock the whole movie.

    LOL this guy is so full of himself. this movie is not even scary! pack your bags and go back to bollywood. your career as a director is finished.

  • Kentan you racist idiot. What's with the bollywood comment, hes american grew up in philly.

    What's your idea of scary anyway, fucking cheesy looking monsters? You cant tell me that if the stuff in the movie happened in real life, which is so much more believable than cheesy looking 'Grudge' ghosts or the bad guys from Saw and Hostel, that you wouldn't be scared shitless. You'd probably be running around crying or praying to be saved like everybody else...and you wouldn't be.

  • no no no. The whole "the scariest stuff is what you don't see" is true for Signs because it has Aliens in it. This is not true for The Happening, because there is no physical or visible threat and it is not scary in the slightest.

  • "there is no physical or visible threat and it is not scary in the slightest."

    But how would you SHOW neurotoxins other the wind that blows them? The reason there so scary because you CANT see them, and yet they kill you. Think of being in a room with nerve gas, you don't show any symptoms, but people in that room around you start dying, and then you realized your screwed. That's pretty terrifying.

    "green-lighted this PoS."

    I don't understand all the HATE he's getting for his movies.
