Mass media marketing at its best!

Rating: Null/10 (31 July 2004)

I, fortunately enough can give an honest objective opinion based on the facts about this film alone.
My god, Was Kathrine Hepburn running the camera for this movie, or what??
I started to get a headache from the camera work, I don't think they spent any money on a tripod for the camera. It was shaking all over the place.
The acting as excellent and very enjoyable to see them trick us into believing that it actually was in the 1800s.
That sort of trickery isn't very popular with most movie goers.
I listened to a mass of people leaving the theatre, literally disappointed in what they just saw for themselves.
The Village is not a movie, I would recommend anyone to see.
In fact your best bet is to wait till it gets released on DVD, or on your favorite satellite movie channel. Save your money.
To sum this movie up on one sentence: Bad camera work, good acting, a glorified boogie man and a plot that winds up being nothing more than a dream of escaping from the world and todays society, who's the monster in this film(?)... we are!
A perfect example of mass media marketing at its best, makes this movie a big fat sour lemon.
