Dirty Martini Society

Everyone knows that I'm a huge horror film buff, so when I heard about M. Night Shyamalan's "The Happening" I knew I would be front and center for a decent thriller. What I got instead was a mild heart attack. With most recent thrillers the villain is usually a deranged butcher, a creature from another world, or someone you know. However, 10 minutes into this movie there were still no clues as to what was causing the chaos.



The rest of the movie seems like a warped psych study on mass societal hysteria combined with gruesome suicides that seemed to happen every second. I would get into the storyline of the main characters, but it would be pointless seeing as how the movie could have had the same disturbing effect without them. What happens when there are no answers, only mass suicides?
