Great Ideas in the Movie Which Are Very Difficult to Handle by a Commercial Director !

Rating: 5/10 (15 November 2006)

I wouldn't say the village is Shyamalan's worst but it is not a very good movie either .. the movie has great ideas but not very well handled ..
I found it very difficult to handle such big ideas by a commercial director like Shyamalan.
The idea of escaping the public normal life to live isolated in a village out of some reasons is a brilliant idea but it just doesn't work very well with Shyamalan .. it is too big idea to handle by a commercial director.
The acting was good especially by Joaquin Phoenix .. Adrian Brody wasn't that good .. and he was over-reacting in my opinion. William Hurt gave one of his best performances .. and Bryce Dallas Howard was probably the best of them all.
Somethings I didn't like such as the scary music which plays to supposedly give us the creep and makes us scream or something .. I think it is a cheesy way to attract the viewer attention .. anyway, what do you expect from a commercial horror movie?
In the end, I found myself lost .. the ending is open to many possibilities and maybe Shyamlan was thinking of making a sequel to it.
