Family lives happily ever after. People speculate about this being Nature 'warning' humans of what it can do, but because it was all confined to the northeast where there are army testing bases they assume it's a government slip-up or consipiracy. Don't worry folks, it won't happen again!
Scene IMMEDIATELY switches to France a few months down the line, where the neurotoxin suddenly strikes again as we all knew it would. End credits.

That does sound fairly twistish, for want of a better term.

Come on. Even by Shayamalan's standards it's entirely banal.

Fuck, this film is incredibly dull.

i thought the happening was alright but the story of a viral thing coming from plants is a bit dodgy lol

but maybe the meant to be "graphic" suicides could make up for that haha

Christ, this film was awful. Wahlberg was acting like he was in a comedy the entire time, totally over the top "oh NO!" stylie. I can't even explain it, just avoid it or else go and see it very drunk to laugh at it. PISH.

I desperately want to see this, as it sounds hilarious.
Not too keen on paying for it, though.

Did anyone else think that he was being incredibly camp the whole time?

There's a cam out so get a hold of that as it's certainly not worth the admission fee!

Preachy nonsense.
Dull, dull and oh aye, dull.
Marky Mark's no bad, but the rest of the funky bunch are....You guessed it, shite.

Oh, I forgot to mention this at the time:
The first scene in which you see Whalberg's wife (her phone is ringing and she's ignoring it) a boom mic appears a good 3 of 4 times and stays in shot for a few seconds.
