The Happening (EOTWS)

End Of The Week Shorts #32 extract: The Happening (2008)

I loosely remember seeing this near to when it came out and it didn't seem awful. In fact, I remembering being told--and more so than I remember the film--that this was a good movie. A few years later, I heard other people talking about The Happening, suggesting that this is 'one of those movies that are so bad that they're kind of brilliant'. I never knew what to think, and I couldn't remember the film at all, so, today of all days, my curiosity peaked; I had to see how good or bad the movie was. 

30 seconds in, I was bored by the elongated opening credits, so I hit fast forward. 2 minutes later... yeah, this is a truly awful movie. I don't need to say why, it is just ridiculously bad. I couldn't get through.
