Critics Consensus: The Happening begins with promise, but unfortunately descends into an incoherent and unconvincing trifle.

Reviews

The Wolfman Cometh

Patrick Cavanaugh

The handful of visually unsettling sequences fail to make up for the complete absurdity of the premise and performances.

The result is a promising idea realized with a laughable amount of hokum.

But suppose you squint your eyes and pretend it’s a satirical comedy. In that case, it turns from an all-time debacle to one of the most unintentionally funny (and prescient) horror comedies of the 21st century.

How did this particular work turn out so badly?

Filtering Hitchcock through Spielberg, Shyamalan offers two righteous gimmicks ... that compensate for the script's grating sentimentality and a mutinous star performance.
