Barely watchable

Rating: 1/10 (9 July 2010)

After this movie was released Mr. Shyamalan should not have been allowed to may any more films.
Very predictable, implausible with how you are introduced at the start of this move you are supposed to be in the 1800's as the movie progresses you learn of events in the people's lives that made them want to get away from society and start this colony. Which if are to be believed are events that none of these people would speak of outside family for the era of the 1800's. So how they learned of each other is a mystery even after you find out it's not really set in the 1800's. Once you learn this fact it is just something to watch because you are enjoying your popcorn that you made or paid for at the theater.
During the movie a villager becomes ill and a doctor in the village says they need antibiotics to help the villager. The woods are inhabited by a mystical evil man eating creature. You learn later is nothing more then a villager in a costume that has a mental issue.
An older girl played by the daughter of Ron Howard, is the one that says she will get the antibiotics. She is given a note to give to the person at the "ranger station", wait Ranger station. Wait did I type ranger station,this is supposed to be the 1800s. I didn't know ranger stations even now keep a prescription medicine cabinet in the office let alone then. She is stalked by the villager disguised monster, whom she alludes and later kills though not at her own hand. She gets to the outer edge of this village beyond the woods she encounters a sign indicating it is the "Private Nature Preserve" of the family of one of the village elders. The children have not be raised to know there is nothing more then 1800s technology available. When this girl encounters the park ranger's truck she is not frightened or anything.
Another failed movie by M. Night Shyamalan not worth the time.
