Whenever Manoj Night Shyamalan comes out with a film, people have high expectations with him. This is why when the film ‘The Happening’ was released both critics and audiences across the world hoped that it would be another fine piece of art from Shyamalan. Like most of his other films this film too deals with strange happenings. In the film it is shown that for unknown reasons a lot of people suddenly start committing suicide in New York City. The main characters in the film are played by Mark Wahlberg, Zooey Deschanel, John Leguizamo, Ashlyn Sanchez, Betty Buckley, and Spencer Breslin. Although the technicalities and direction in the film is not bad, the director has not been able to translate his talents onto the screen. The film fails to impress in terms of the way the characters have shaped out in the film. The film seems to be set to o average business in the box office.
