About this movie

Mark Wahlberg stars as a man who takes his family on the run when a natural disaster threatens to end civilization. For years, the earth has been the victim of mankind's "progress," and the pollution has finally built to a point that causes a global backlash. An invisible neurotoxin is released into the air making the people in Philadelphia go crazy and kill themselves. The Happening is a paranoid thrill ride through this large-scale, cataclysmic environmental crisis that turns into a struggle by mankind to overcome nature.

So bad that I ended up really enjoying myself. Do not have high hopes for it, but you should at least watch it once. Just so you know what it is

I dont understand why people are giving it a bad rating it is one of my favorite movies out there I love the storyline I love the actors I love the way it was set up I feel like there was something missing in the movie but overall I have always loved it and I will always love it
