What a misleading title (meaning the Something is Out There one, the other is exactly the opposite – like calling a movie Titanic or The Bank Job where you know what you're in for) and partial preview – 90% of the film (or more) took place outside. So – something, or someone(s) was out there all along. Strangely effective in some areas, though the whole feature screamed made-for-TV movie of the 1970s. The dialogue was both hilarious and sad at the same time. Yes, I realize we live in a more PC-friendly media these days, but some of the racial comments, especially by an Airplane!/Naked Gun hero of mine, Leslie Nielsen, should have earned it an R even back then. I can see where M Night might have gotten some of his inspiration for The Happening, though I didn't laugh at Animals as hard as I did The Happening.
