10 Horror Movie Actors Who HATED Their Own Performances

8. Mark Wahlberg - The Happening

The Witch
20th Century Fox

Mark Wahlberg seemingly hates Mark Wahlberg movies.

While the actor was featured in our 10 More Actors Who Hate Their Own Movie Performances earlier this year - that time lambasting his career-best turn in Paul Thomas Anderson's stunning Boogie Nights - this time out he's included for throwing plenty of shade in The Happening's direction.

During the press tour for 2010's The Fighter, Wahlberg discussed how The Fighter co-star Amy Adams was at one point up for The Happening, and that she dodged a bullet by not landing a role in that M. Night Shyamalan picture.

When asked about the first time he and Adams met, Wahlberg told the gathered press (as per The Hollywood Reporter):

"We actually had the luxury of having lunch before to talk about another movie, and it was a bad movie that I did. She dodged the bullet. And then I was still able to... I don't want to tell you what the movie... alright, The Happening. F**k it. It is what it is. F**king trees, man. The plants. F**k it."

As alluded to by Marky Mark, The Happening does indeed centre on plant life - or, y'know, "f**king trees" - taking over the planet and attempting to kill off mankind.
