good movie

Rating: 8/10 (30 June 2005)

this movie definitely wasn't what i expected. when i finally saw the movie i thought it would be exactly how i thought it would be, but it turned out totally different. this movie in my opinion was very good and M. Night definitely picked the right actors for the parts. i think that Bryce Howard was stupendous for the role of Ivy Walker. she really was very convincing. i totally thought i was inside the village and witnessing the attacks from "those we don't speak of" it was very real. I thought that Joaquin Phoenix did an amazing job and he just swept me away. M. Night did a great job with handling this movie. it must have taken a lot of work to write, produce, and direct the script.
