People went to see it for the wrong reasons

Rating: 9/10 (20 March 2005)

Many people went to see The Village to get scared because of the way the trailer portrayed it. Many of the people who went to see it with me thought it was terrible because they went to get scared and were disappointed. It was a psychological thriller just like the rest of M. Night Shyamalan's movies. Only the trailer to this one portrayed the movie as scarier than his other movies and so compelled more people to see it to get scared instead of what the movie was actually about. I enjoyed it because of the information that you find out close to or at the end of the movie. Once the whole story comes together it is a psychological thriller, and not many people were expecting that and thought it was dumb. I didn't and I enjoyed it. If you went to see the movie to get scared then you were sorely disappointed.
