What is really happening in "The Happening"??


The film opens on seemingly normal scenes in New York's Central Park and Philadelphia's Rittenhouse Square, when people suddenly entering a strange trance and begin committing suicide en masse. The phenomena is then shown spreading to other parts of the cities, with construction workers are shown throwing themselves off buildings in New York and a string of people kill themselves with a police officer's gun in Philadelphia.
The protagonist, Elliot Moore (
Mark Wahlberg), is teaching science class in Philadelphia when the principal ends class due to reports of an apparent bioterrorist attack on New York. Elliot and his wife, Alma Moore (Zooey Deschanel), join Elliot's best friend and fellow teacher Julian (John Leguizamo) and his eight-year-old daughter Jess (Ashlyn Sanchez) as they decide to evacuate the city. The train they are taking soon stops at a small station in western Pennsylvania and train services are discontinued after the crew loses contact with "everyone." News begins to come through televisions and cell phones as the pandemic is shown spreading across the northeastern United States, with the initial assumption of terrorism now abandoned as the scale of the attacks grows.

My review:

This movie scares me... the most "nyebelin part" was when i have to go outside to make some phone calls (for work) while it's getting exciting.. so i missed some of the "horor" part... capeee dehhhhhhh...
