What a bunch of nonsense--effective nonsense, chilling nonsense, occasionally wrenching nonsense, but nonsense nonetheless.
Full reviewWhat a bunch of nonsense--effective nonsense, chilling nonsense, occasionally wrenching nonsense, but nonsense nonetheless.
Full reviewIn short, this is a Shyamalan movie minus the bravado, the swagger; there are no audacious attempts to pull out the rug from under the audience, no ham-fisted lessons about the importance of religious belief or the power of storytelling.
Full reviewThe movie seems more like a '50s science fiction film of extreme paranoia or an episode of "The Twilight Zone" that even at a swiftly paced 90 minutes feels padded.
Full reviewThe same tyro who wrote and directed The Sixth Sense before he was 30, then followed up that mighty success with the flawed but likeable Unbreakable, the promising but ultimately laughable Signs, the imponderably daft The Village and the flat-out deranged The Lady in the Water is back cluttering up the multiplex for a week or two with The Happening.
Full reviewThe Happening is available to stream in Australia now on Google Play and Apple TV and Disney+ and Prime Video Store.
