I feel drawn to this village as a moth to a flame...

Rating: 10/10 (28 August 2004)

Village is the most compelling film I've seen this year. Shyamalan creates a world that I can't get out of my mind. I know that I will have to go back to the theatre to see this again. While so many films rely on one-liners, cheap tricks, or formula comedy; Shyamalan is able to create a completely unique world that is like experiencing a parallel universe. If you are tired of the same old movie experience and want to find something totally new, I highly recommend this film. This is his best film since Sixth Sense. I can't understand why there is so much dislike of this work. Maybe the steady diet of reality television is causing movie-goers to totally miss a totally fantastic story. I know The Village will eventually be a dvd that I watch again and again.
