Will Make A Great Rental, But See It Before Someone Spoils It For You!

Rating: Null/10 (30 July 2004)

Let me preface by saying I'm a huge fan of the director/writer, but this film fell far short of expectations and I would have rather saved my money and rented it later.
I was the first of anyone I knew to see The Sixth Sense and Signs. I recommended both movies to everyone, though some folks didn't like Signs (I'm guessing they didn't get the message?) "The Village" has a few messages of its own that are thought-provoking, but not enough to have me recommend visiting a theater to view this movie. The BIG advantage to viewing this particular picture sooner, will be to avoid having some jerk obliterate the ending for you.
It WAS NOT scary, at all. Although, I must admit this one had the old tummy twisted in knots the entire time. If you like that sort of thing (with a so-so payoff at the end,) then this is the movie for you.
Again, I would recommend seeing this soon or run the risk of having the "twist" exposed.
I would rate it a solid B+.
