The Happening (2008)

“Elliot Moore is a high school science teacher who quizzes his class one day about an article in the New York Times. It’s about the sudden, mysterious disappearance of bees. Yet again Nature is doing something inexplicable, and whatever science has to say about it will be, in the end, only a theory. Scientists will bring out more theories, but no explanations, when a more urgent dilemma hits the planet. It begins in Central Park. Suddenly and inexplicably, the behavior of everyone in the park changes in a most bizarre and horrible way. Soon, the strange behavior spreads throughout the city and beyond. Elliot, his wife, Alma, and Jess, the young daughter of a friend, will only have theories to guide them where to run and where to hide. But theories may not be enough. Written by J. Spurlin”

Trivia: After the students’ hypotheses about the bee disappearance: global warming and atomic/bio/chemical contamination. The nuclear and greenhouse “plants” are symbolic of these theories – literally facing one another in Filbert, PA.

Goofs: Factual errors: After leaving Filbert, when everyone splits off into smaller groups in the field, and Mark Wahlberg’s character goes to the truck to see if there’s a map, only the passenger door is open, yet the door ajar alarm is dinging. It’s a Ford truck so the alarm would only ding if the drivers’ side door was open.
