From our friends over at Trailer Trash, this is perhaps the best review of an M. Night Shyamalan movie trailer:
“The first stage is loss of speech. The second stage is physical disorientation. The third stage is fatal.
These are the symptoms of watching this trailer.
The Happening is M. Night Sham-alan’s newest descent into the bizarre and unexplained world of disappointment. With its cornucopia of overtly-stylized nonsense, this preview conjures up enough memories of “Lady in the Water” that I can only hope a bunch of trees will try to kill me (spoiler alert).
And because this is a trailer review, I can beat all the other film critics to the punch and be the first to christen this movie “The Crappening”
- Steve Jarczak”
Bravo, Steve. Couldn’t be said any better.

This movie is going to suck beyond sucking. Naming a movie after a gerund just compounds the idiocy.
Unless it’s based on the Pixies song, that might make it not suck.

“Lady in the Water” was one of the WORST movies evar! This crap ain’t ‘happening’ to me twice.

happening is actually LOOSE CHANGE 3.0. Are you all playing dumb or really didn’t get the theme?

Nope, I would never have made that connection. Can you elaborate?

Yea, this movie was so amazingly bad that I actually felt compelled — NO — FORCED — to make a parody of it. Check it out here:
