The Happening




Wikipedia: "In New York City, people inexplicably begin committing mass suicide. First they become disoriented, followed by resorting to the most convenient way to kill themselves. Initially believed to be a bioterrorist attack, the pandemic quickly spreads across the northeastern United States."


Although the film seems to drag half the time, the overall story concept is very intriguing. What if our abuse of the environment forces it to react ... against us. As one environmentalist character puts it, "the pandemic may have only been a warning, like "a rash preceding an infection."
