JJ Rating: A

M. Night Shymalan's imagination swirls with environmental fervor. An odd happening is going on in parks around the country. People die by their own hand and sometimes through their own folly. As it spreads throughout the country people fear what grows and surrounds us daily. The Happening.

I don't understand why people go and see his movies when they don't like Signs, Unbreakable, Lady in the Water and The Village. They expect what? To see another likeThe Sixth Sense? I don't think he sees himself as someone who makes twist like endings. The endings to his movies after The Sixth Sense have had a subtle twist that was predictable from mid movie. I do not believe he means to have his films to have twists that shock people with what they had not thought would happen. This misunderstanding has created a brood of ignorant moviegoers that expect what shouldn't be and perceive what isn't.
