This is an excellent movie, a classic on the lines of John Stienbeck

Rating: Null/10 (28 February 2006)

If people did not like this movie there is only one reason, laziness. They did not want to think, and this movie has you thinking throughout. It will most likely take its place among other great works of fiction to be picked apart in literature classes. Because it is a great piece of literature. The story is well told and the actors do not get in the way of the storytelling. They play their parts so well that you only see the characters and the story unfolding. Yes there is a surprise ending, although anyone who is paying attention will be able to see at least part of the surprise. I would love to take apart all the characters and the plot and discuss this movie with other people who enjoy a good story.
If you want a horror film then take a pass, but if you fear watching The Village because you con't like occultic slasher films then have no fear, my 10 year old daughter loves this movie and I don't let her watch horror films.
