Spoilers here- First off, decent, but not great (Again spoilers)

Rating: Null/10 (5 August 2004)

I keep seeing commercials- "The village will leave you haunted" making it sound like a suspense thriller. It really wasn't suspensful and it really wasn't thrilling. It didn't even make me jump once. It make me ask over and over and over "What is the point?" Till at the end you see the big twist that they are really living in modern times and then it make me ask... "So what?"
It really wasn't that impressive. There is only so many minutes of watching a blind woman running through the woods someone can stand. Then the movie doesn't resolve. Sure you know the twist, sure you know
she made it back in time... but again... who cares? What happened after that? Did he die anyway? Did they get married? I'm not one for tidy endings... but when a movie bores you that badly, it would be nice to make up for it.
And what was up with that thing about his "color" and "I'm not going to tell you so stop asking." I was expecting her to eventually say his color was the forbiden color.
All in all, this was very disappointing. VERY. And I'm a big fan of M. Night Shyamalan.
I give this 2 out of 5 stars, only cause the premise was interesting and had promise and lets face it.. Joaquin Phoenix is hot. ^_^
