Ouch

I liked M. Night Shamalamadingdong longer than most people did. I actually liked Signs, and didn't hate The Village. Then Lady in the Water came along, and it was just about the worst movie in the history of cinema. Does Shamalamadingdong redeem himself with The Happening? Not according to this reviewer:

"The Happening" is a terrible, terrible movie. I mean, it's bad on an epic scale. It's so bad that I can't possibly tell you how bad it is without understating the point or making it sound like I'm picking on the film. But let me stress: this is not pent-up Shyamalan aggression or a desire to see him fail. This is bad in a jaw-dropping "they can't really be serious, can they?" kind of way. The closest comparison I can draw is to Neil LaBute's "Wicker Man" and, like that film, the only consolation I can offer potential theater-goers is that you might want to see it just to be in on the ground floor when the film gets its ass handed back to it.
