Not A Horror Movie

Rating: 6/10 (7 December 2006)

Alright, i'll start by saying that I don't see this as a horror movie. At the time, when I watched, it had been billed as "horror" and was left with a weird feeling when I had seen it through. I saw it with a friend of mine and we both reached the same agreement. To put in a good way, i'll say that we agreed that The Village wasn't the best horror movie we've seen.
But after I read a comment regarding this movie, it made me think otherwise. It is very character-driven and that is probably why I oversaw the movie in the first place; also because I saw it with a "horror-movie" attitude. Which I shouldn't had done. I haven't other of Shamaylan's (Is that how you spell it?) films, but I certainly will try to do so. But back to this comment; it made me think in a different way about this film. It has some weird twists and turns, but in the end it actually came out as a solid film. It is not though, the best film i've seen. Far from it. But i've seen much worse. A solid movie, but not a must-see.
