The Happening (2008, 18%)
The Village has its defenders, but Lady in the Water was a total dud. Maybe what M. Night

Shayamalan needed was a less restrictive sandbox to mess around in. The marketing for The Happening

played up that this was his first R-rated feature and kept the premise under wraps. As though Mark

Wahlberg talking to a plastic plant is a joy that needed to be hidden from the world.
