Somewhat disapponting **Spoilers**

Rating: 4/10 (3 September 2004)

I think I was expecting something supernatural with all the hype around this movie. As can be expected, M. Knight provides us with some plot twists that cause you to rethink the entire movie over and over again. But, guess what folks, there are no monsters of the woods. The only monster in this film is the society that these people have distanced themselves from. Murdering, money and dare I say, jealousy...the evils that cause human-kind to commit terrible acts upon themselves and others. If for nothing else, go for the story and the moral it tries to provide us. M. Knight is good at giving us that for our money! And I think it was symbolic in having the Village Founder's blind daughter travel back to society to retrieve the medicine. With her blindness, she still perceives the preserve officer's kindness...and hope for our society.
