A Night to Remember!

Rating: 8/10 (30 July 2004)

Okay. This one is as deep as any Shyamalan production. To those who find the Night style refreshing and appealing, this one will not disappoint. But as usual it will be controversial because the Night brand is not everyone's cup of tea. This writer, director, producer has a real talent. I really liked this one. The Village paints a very interesting portrait of the complexities of human nature. As is customary Night, the movie must unfold at its own pace. And despite comments to the contrary, Night does not waste any moments in weaving his web. As a matter of fact, anyone who says they got the full measure of this movie in one sitting: a)is far above the mental processing curve, b)took in way too much pre-flick information or c) is deluded.

I will not give away any details other than to say that they thought they could escape it, but it found them and their children. Now their survival hangs in the balance. Well written, well acted, well done. I rate this 8 of 10.
