Disappointing, Shyamalan.

Rating: 4/10 (7 August 2005)

Normally, I'm impressed with Shyamaln's work. Unbreakable was good and Signs was good. Sixth Sense was pretty good too. But The Village just turned out to be a piece of crap. I mean, come on! How can you have a trailer that good and have something that sucked so bad? For an M. Night Shyamalan film, this was disappointing.
On a brighter note, the plot was creepy and when someone entered the woods, the sound effects and whatnot were very scary. And when you only see that little bit of the monsters, they were also scary. However, when you see the full Monte of them, they look like something taken from Power Rangers. I half expected them to grow gigantic and shoot eye beams at the village. And while the plot was creepy, it was overall weak and in some cases pointless. All in all: not impressive. 4 outta 10.
