A harrowing movie experience from the modern master of suspense!

Rating: 8/10 (2 August 2004)

M. Night's film the Village is indeed a frightening suspense film that has you guessing at every turn. Night is a master of foreboding and chills you at every turn in his movies........this film is no exception. It makes you think and wonder at all times.......why do these people live the way they do? It constantly makes you think about what is happening here and why these creatures live in the woods. The cinematography is exceptional by the many times Academy Award nominee Roger Deakins, who shot my favorite film, the masterful Shawshank Redemption! This film is genuinely terrifying at times especially when you do see glimpses of the terrible creatures and their doings. And as you already know about Night films there is a twist ending that will spellbind you to the very core..........Night also has an amusing cameo! **** stars.
