Whats the Story?
Elliot Moore is an underappreciated schoolteacher whose marriage is on the rocks. But nothing helps you forget your worries like a sudden global apocalypse! When people begin dying en masse, rumors fly about terrorist attacks or botched government experiments, but soon it becomes obvious that even the government couldn’t botch things this badly. Confused and terrified, with their links to the rest of the world rapidly vanishing, Elliot and his family must go on the run in what is fast becoming a post-apocalyptic wasteland.
Bet you didn’t know
This is the second film to be titled The Happening. The first was a 1967 social commentary about Middle American values that for some reason didn’t do so well in Middle America. It did however spawn a hit single by the same title for The Supremes.
