Just bad!

Rating: 2/10 (14 March 2005)

I love art-movies. I love thriller and horror-flicks. I loved "The 6th Sense" but whats up with Mr. Shyamalan's Follow Ups? "Unbreakable" was okay, "Signs" pathetic and bad so I don't know what brought me to try it again with "The Village". Okay, the Camera-work is great. So is the atmosphere. But anybody with a brain finds out quickly what its about and is just disappointed by the lame ending, that doesn't live up to the expectations. I'm afraid that M. Shyamalan is desperately trying to repeat the success of his disturbing surprise-end in "6th Sense" so he just doesn't think about a strong storyline anymore. The creepy atmosphere of his movies gets more and more boring with any further minute and after a while you just don't care anymore. And the missing logic in the village can not be undone with a thick atmosphere. You are just leaving the theater unsatisfied or ask yourself, why you had to buy the DVD before renting it. Some mistakes you just have to pay for. "The Village" is one off them...
