The most spiritual movie of David Lynch, as he said.
I can see that, even though he refused to elaborate when asked, it's evident that after making six short films, he needed to express his vision of life and cinema in this project. His connection to the moon is already clear - beginning with the first frame of the film featuring Henry, and reinforced by the opening scene itself.
The industrial and post-apocalyptic atmosphere is masterfully crafted; the hellish noises…
there's no better definition to this movie than the quote: "just when you think you've seen it all, life bites you in the ass!"; the last 30 final minutes being just like that and the most Tobe Hooper possible. the captalism literally swallows the proletariat in a sense that will give it more power even if it's worth half your finger but also to keeps moving the system. Robert Englund brillant in every scene of this.
Incrível como funciona o viés político com o medo eminente do pós 11/09 que o Shyamalan coloca em The Happening, ainda com uma pegada bem filme B.
