"THE HAPPENING is Shyamalan's best film since THE SIXTH SENSE." So says the Amazon.com editorial posted right here.
I read it twice just to be sure. Then I read the whole thing just to be certain it wasn't written in jest. Whoever wrote it manages to find an enthusiasm for the film I didn't think possible. Here's my favorite bit:
"Especially effective is its feel for what we might call the surrealism of banality."
That much is true--Shyamalan effectively nailed surreal banality. He knocked that ball clear out of the park, and even brought in a few runs.
The thing that makes this funnier are the two (currently) posted customer reviews below. One gave it one star. The other actually gave it five, but you have to read why. It's priceless.
