So many things that are unbelievable about this story, I found myself laughing out loud in places where I was supposed to be taking things seriously. I'll suspend disbelief for a while, but when I start comparing a movie to "The Happening," you know there's trouble. Would have worked better in my opinion if they had shown the creatures--for me, a movie made by a director who "leaves the monster up the imagination of the viewer" as this one does feels like a cop out. If you can't be creative enough to come up with a monster, then you are going to get lumped in with those directors who favor endings-that-aren't-endings where they "leave it up to the audience's interpretation." This, to me, always feels like cheating...and lazy writing.
