I'm surprised no one has called this film "hilarious" in the IMDb reviews yet. The acting, dialogue, violence and overall plot are laughable and occasionally hilarious. Not as good (as in funny) as The Room or Robot Monster, but it has it's moments. 2/10 for filmmaking (there's one well done sequence in the old woman's house, and the beginning wasn't awful), 6/10 as a comedy.

A science teacher, his wife, and a young girl struggle to survive a plague that causes those infected to commit suicide. Mark Wahlberg stars as a teacher who talks to plants and basically plants make people die cause why wouldn't they right? The performances are laughable, the script is bad and the entire plot sounds dumber than it already is and i totally get it why so many people hate M. Night Shyamalan the man had such a promising career and outside of the brilliant Sixth Sense and the underrated Signs he has made a few watchable but flawed films such as Unbreakable and Split but movies such as The Happening and The Visit is when good careers go and die and unfortunately this is what happened in 2008 with this movie thankfully everyone still has a career and make great films again but making a film where Wahlberg talks to plant like he is stoned or something isn't actually comedic it's just retarded. (0/10)

Horrible. Sincerely, a film completely without link, without a palpable and continuous history. It's just an extremely generic eschatological movie with the same US story being attacked by something hyper-evil, and the heartthrob hero being completely immune and smarter than everyone else.Worst movie I ever watched.

Quite possibly the worst movie ever made. If I were a judge, instead of sending people to jail I'd make them watch this movie. I'd only make them way h it once though. Once is plenty. What starts out as impossibly horrible dissolves into, get this, something even MORE horrible. Sort your sock drawer, get a bad sunburn, clean up after the dog.....do anything but watch this....thing. You'll thank me later.
