Tinkle vs. Tingle

Rating: 1/10 (22 April 2005)

I am a true fan of all of M. Night's previous movies, but this was 1:40 of the most boring ridiculous dialog. There is no suspense in the movie at all and no action.
Ron Howard's daughter does an adequate job in the lead female role, although half the time she acts blind, half the time it appears she can see well. How can she run through the yards with no problem, but then she needs her cane to move around her own house? And how is she able to navigate through the woods on her own?
Joaquin Phoenix plays the most wooden character to come along since Pinocchio. He disappears from the screen about ¼ of the way through the movie, giving him no chance to redeem the role.
Shyamalan's previous films were full of so much suspense, it would make my skin tingle. The Village is so bad, it made me want to tinkle all over the DVD!
