Well, guys, as much as I have enjoyed M. Knight Shyalaman's movies in the past, I have to say that this one turned out to be the down-side to a climax in his career. In my opinion, he topped himself with "Signs", but "The Village" turned out to be a disappointing follow-up, maybe because I was expecting the monsters in the movie to be something quite different.
I mean, the previews made it seem like it was going to be a movie about Sasquatch (or Big Foot or Yeti, whatever you call it) and even throughout the movie it seemed like it was leading in that direction and seeing as how I have been an avid fan of Big-Foot-related movies and programs in the past, I was looking forward to seeing this movie.
Man, what a huge let down.
This basically turned out to be a movie about some people who decided they disliked the way the world was and wanted to create some sort of Amish-style society and to keep people from wanting to leave the village, they have some crappy story dreamed up to make them scared of entering the woods.
Oh well, I guess one lump of coal in the middle of a basket of diamonds ain't so bad.
