Best Comedy of the Year

Rating: Null/10 (18 August 2004)

Spoiler A friend and i went to see the village last night hoping for a good horror film, but what we got instead was the best comedy we'd seen all year. First of all, two of the main characters are a blind girl, and a mentally retarded homicidal manic depressive. Now if that doesn't strike you as funny, the "creatures" or "things we do not speak of" are really big porcupines with red cloaks on. The script is poorly written although the concept is kind of good, and the scenes are poorly acted to make things worse. I was not alone with my laughter during the film - the entire crowd was rolling by the time the movie had ended. The mere mention of the "magic rocks" was so utterly stupid i had a hard time thinking of much else. Also - how could you have a whole "VILLAGE" as it were living - completely unbeknownst to the world - in the middle of a nature park? I just can't believe the utter stupidity of it all, but perhaps the worst part was the ending. I think the only perk was M. Night's cameo towards the end, although i am quite unsure why he would want to take credit for such a travesty. I thought 6th sense was good, unbreakable was OK, then he began to slip with signs, but this, this my friend is perhaps the worst movie of his career.
