The Happening
M. Night Shyamalan is back again with yet another creepy drama. Odd things begin happening in cities around America, as people die mysteriously. A science teacher realises that something unnatural is going on, and decides to escape to the farmlands, where he hopes he will be safe with his wife, daughter and teacher friend. However, the ''attackers'' have other ideas, and soon nowhere on Earth is safe from their grisly game.
