We've Sensed It.
We've Seen The Signs.
Now... It's Happening.

It begins with no clear warning. It seems to come out of nowhere. In a matter of minutes, episodes of strange, chilling deaths that defy reason and boggle the mind in their shocking destructiveness, erupt in major American cities. What is causing this sudden, total breakdown of human behaviour. Is it some kind of new terrorist attack, an experiment gone wrong, a diabolical toxic weapon, an out of control virus? Is it being transmitted by air, by water... how

The latest blockbuster from acclaimed director M. Night Shyamalan (The Sixth Sense, Unbreakable) is the terrifying psychological thriller The Happening, about an unexplained wave of shocking deaths spreading across America.

For Philadelphia high school science teacher Elliot Moore (Mark Wahlberg) what matters most is finding a way to escape the mysterious and deadly phenomenon. Though he and his wife Alma (Zooey Deschanel) are in the midst of a marital crisis, they hit the road, first by train, then by car, with Elliot's friend Julian (John Leguizamo) and his 8 year old daughter Jess (Ashlyn Sanchez), heading for the Pennsylvania farmlands where they hope they'll be out of reach of the grisly, ever growing attacks. Yet it soon becomes clear that no one and nowhere is safe.
