Embrace this as a B-movie masterpiece


I would never venture to say something so ludicrous as The Happening is a good movie. But it’s inherently watchable. I’ve seen plenty of bad movies, and the worst types of bad movies are those that are an utter chore to sit through. That never happens with The Happening. Instead, it manages to catch your attention like the world’s strangest car accident, or a stand-up comedian bombing so catastrophically that he or she achieves a type of transcendence. http://www.cutprintfilm.com/features/so-bad-its-great-the-happening/

Eh, I'm watching it now and it just plain sucks. I've seen my fair share of B, C, D, and so on movies throughout my life, and this piece of crap doesn't compare. There simply is nothing fun about this one. It never goes over the top.
