"What a tweeeeest"

Rating: 1/10 (14 October 2010)

Instead of dragging it out with paragraphs, I'll just list off PLENTY of the things that made this film a complete turd.
-So a guy manages to (somehow) get a forest preserve, and (somehow) prevents planes from flying over it. Because it would be out of place in making the kids believe that they live in an 1800s time period. Really, Night???
-I have the most brilliant idea!!!! Let's send the blind girl to get the medicine! She's SO gonna know where she's going!!!
-Somehow the blind girl manages to take down the "thing they don't mention" or whatever they call it. And she's so sharp she knows where it is!!!! She even heads towards it in a straight line in some bits of the showdown!!!
-Let's also mention that she's SOOOOO blind, she runs at breakneck speed in the forest and manages to avoid falling into a LARGE HOLE and bumping into all the trees around her!!! And then of course, she manages to get out of the village which is protected by a huge fence!!!
-So the little society of theirs is supposed to be free of violence and/or crime. Yet they set up this little scheme to scare the kids, and set up this retarded "Red is the forbidden colour" rule??? Excuse me for a moment, I may be a little while on this one.
-On the topic of the "red" rule, major plot hole. For one, let's mention that the film is set in the Autumn. The leaves are red clearly, that's a problem. What about red berries on the trees? Or the CLEARLY RED CURTAINS in one of the scenes. EPIC FAIL!!!!
-Basically, if these adults were as smart as they thought they were, they'd have realized their whole "society" didn't work, with all the death and killing around them (and not to mention the slaughter of the animals to make the monster suits)
-The whole "scaring the kids with pig suits" thing doesn't work either. For one, Noah is the mentally insane dude, and at the end when the twist was revealed (major cop-out too), he was one of them. And they'd be dumb enough to hide a suit under the floorboards in the village loonie bin?????
-Also, with nothing in the loonie bin, how on earth did Noah break the floorboards to get the suit and then escape???
I'd list more, but it'd be too long for the page.
