Hey, I thought it was pretty good.

Rating: 7/10 (25 November 2005)

The Village isn't a very scary film, but it's not supposed to be. It's a pretty good drama in my opinion. The characters are diverse, and the movie is fairly touching. Well, it is dramatic. I thought it was suspenseful too. (Just a little bit.)
Hardcore horror fans won't like it though. For the rest of us, it is a beautiful film. The village itself is very good too. It shows the struggle of a small town and creatures that invade it. The film has wonderful style, and costumes, and you can really get the feel of an old village with the dialog and the costumes.
As for the "plot twist" at the end, it is just too make the film more realistic. (I think it is, anyways. I'm not so sure.)
So, The Village has more to it that most people realize. It has acting, story, plot twists, costumes, drama and depth.
7/10
