Please don't waste 2 hours of your life on this one

I liked sixth sense - and because of this one good movie m. night is an egomaniacal bastard with, unfortunately, precisely zero reason to be. every movie hes made since has followed the same formula in an increasingly unsuccessful way and THE VILLAGE is no exception. M Night can't write. Period. He is a good director with a talent for building suspense but all his films exist solely for his "kicker twist" that just get more and more lame. This movie has little or no story- the fault of poor writing, but features stellar actors that do a great job. Too bad its not enough to save this movie from itself. I saw The Village not expecting a whole lot and guess what - it lived up to that expectation.
