I gave it an eight...

Rating: 8/10 (31 July 2004)

I confess, I am a Shylaman fan. I watch a LOT of movies and usually guess the endings. Sixth Sense's ending actually made me gasp! Then, like many, I wanted to go right back in and see it again. I wouldn't say that about The Village but I did really like it. The many little mysteries inside the mystery was just as much fun to contemplate as the movie overall. Several scenes surprised me as did the ending. (Possible spoiler) One "love scene" speech caused an audience member to go AWW real loud and caused a giggle across the audience as we were all thinking aww, we just didn't say it out loud. There were several gasps from the audience during this movie and at least one scream ;). I couldn't wait to see this movie and I wasn't disappointed - can't wait for the next one either!!!!!!!!!
