The question on our minds are...is this film an M. Night film?

Rating: Null/10 (13 August 2004)

In 1999, M. Night Shyamalan began his big film making career with the hit thriller: "The Sixth Sense". Then came "Unbreakble" followed by "Signs". "The Village" is a new one. A new suspense/thriller that may make some M. Night fans disappointed in the fact that it isn't that truly scary. It is mostly a dramatic romance with added chills and thrills along the way, not to mention downright scary images/scenes. But what some viewers may be looking for, is a "Sixth Sense" or "Signs".
In my personal opinion, "Signs" is much more comparable with "The Village" in that it is mostly dramatic and touching with a dropping tear, than the horror and violent images and scary sequences like "Sixth Sense". I'm not saying "The Village" is a complete waste of time and money, because it is worth seeing again and again, but if you are looking for a "Sixth Sense" i'd turn back, if I were looking for a downright chilly drama/romance, take a seat and enjoy the ride!
