2 years after Shyamalan's reality bending modern-day fairy-tale flopped with audiences and critics alike--he decided to return to his thriller roots--this time to put his own spin on a 1950's sci-fi flick. Not only did he return to form but he also ventured into R rated territory making this his one and only, no children under 17 film. Touting an all-star cast headlined by Mark Wahlberg and Zoey Deschanel this promised to be Shyamalan's bounce back into commercial acclaim...except it wasn't. Considered one of the worst films of all time--this sunk the Academy Award nominated director even lower among peers and fans. But that was 11 years ago. Has The Happening actually aged well and could this be a forgotten hair-raising piece of horror? Join Corbin and Allen as they discuss The Happening to find out!
Join the discussion! Question after the show: Is the The Happening so bad it's good? Why or why not?
