Thing is... The Happening... well, despite its shit title, the concept was okay. Cool, nature is fighting back. About fucking time. However, you shower it in shit like "it's turning off the survival instinct" which, in turn, somehow leads people to commit suicide... that's when I turn my back.
How the hell does turning off the survival instinct make us want to kill ourselves? The theory is out of the water nonsense. Turning a switch off means neutrality. Perhaps it means people would do dangerous things without regard to their safety, but actively killing themselves? No. Turning off survival does not turn on suicide.
Though that scene with the police pistol and various people picking it up was kickass.
It was a thought-provoking film in the environmental sense.
Otherwise... rubbish.
