Seemed very boring to me (big spoilers)

Rating: 5/10 (3 August 2004)

This movie seemed very boring to me. I could see most of the twists coming long before they showed up except for the last one which just made me think how cruel some humans could be to other humans if this Truman Show like twist were true?
And the monsters? What was that? I think that M. Night Shyamalan saw the Pact of the Wolf too many times as that monster from 18th 17th ? Century France was far more creative than the Village's monster. This movie seemed more like a homage to far better movies like the Truman Show and the Pact of the Wolf. It hardly reaches his creativity in the Sixth Sense or even Signs. More like the yawn producing Unbreakable.
The acting was good though especially the new actress playing the lead and Adrian Brody. The best thing you can say about this movie is the acting is quite good when compared with other summer blockbuster blood fests.
5 out of 10 stars
