Different than expected, but well done

Rating: Null/10 (28 August 2004)

This movie was much different than I expected when I walked in. I figured that it would be just another horror movie, but with one of Shyamalan's famous twist endings. What I got was a well written story that comes into focus at the twist climax. I won't spoil the movie, but I definitely think this movie should be viewed in a similar fashion to "Signs." Expect to be surprised and that any confusion will be later explained. You will leave with a greater handling of humanity and society as a whole, which some may say that is the whole point of a cinematic masterpiece. If that logic is true to you, "The Village" is necessary for you to watch. Enjoy!
