10 Insanely Misleading Movie Posters You Won't Believe Actually Exist

4. What's Happening? - The Happening

The Happening

I don't know what the heck the marketing people thought when M. Night Shyamalan turned up with The Happening and told them: "It's a movie where plants start killing humans - but that's the twist, okay? So you can't reveal that on the poster. I don't want to see a single plant on that poster." It didn't leave them with any other options than to try and re-create what they thought might be "a happening," which apparently consists of buildings getting really bendy in a sort of psychological sense, and then there's, uh, bits of paper flying around and stuff as well, because... well, what else were they supposed to do, huh? Also: this scene never even happens.
