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.

Ratings and reviews

The Trailer was amazing, and probably one of the best trailers I've ever seen for a movie. It looked so interesting, but when I watched it, it was not as good as I thought it was going to be when I saw the Trailer. Really not a good movie, sorry Mark you're a mind blowing actor, just shouldn't have chosen this role. You still played it very well though lol...

Wow! If you think you ever saw a terrible movie before, this one is far worse. Actors looking around at each other not knowing thier lines. Mechanical reactions, horrible job on the director's part big time! Don't get it...if you do, you'll be sorry you didn't listen to this review!

Could have been very good or grand with a story that was tighter and gave much more information what "nature" was and how it was doing it. Too vague. SyFys need to fill in story so not many gaps. Good try by MW with what he had to work with. Mic Cl;-)~ Ririe, Idaho
