The Happening
"An apocalyptic threat to humanity arrives out of the clear blue sky with a series of violent, inexplicable deaths spreading across the country. The cause of the terrifying phenomenon remains unknown, prompting science teacher Elliot Moore (Mark Wahlberg), his wife Alma (Zooey Deschanel) and his colleague Julian (John Leguizamo) to try to elude the invisible killer in Pennsylvania's farmland. Soon it becomes clear that no one is safe."
Rated R for violent and disturbing images
3.5 Tayney Rating
Not the best horror film out there but a genuinely terrifying concept. Nature's payback - blocking neurotransmitters, flipping our preservation switch, making us kill ourselves? IMHO the scariest thing I can think of. At least in films with a villain/monster/killer, you feel invested like the protagonists can find a way out - or you think of ways you could win in the situation! But there's no control here, just death 😱😨 Good film, give it a watch👌
