A good movie with a dead end

Rating: 6/10 (18 March 2005)

I loved the trailers for this movie and went to see it when I did I was so disappointed by the ending that I was almost ready to demand my money back. The monster is a guy in a suit played by one of the elders to keep the villagers to scared to leave the place and go to the town referred to as a evil place full of vice. Well done sets and costumes place the village at the beginnings of early America, surprised to say when a SUV pulls up to help her get medicine for her boyfriend is a little but depressing. the monster being a guy in a suit is depressing, the fact that the village is in the middle of a game preserve owned by Hurt with a private security force to keep the 20th century out if depressing, it was good movie that keep me on edge but the ending was so cheesy that I was truly laughing . This would have been a great movie but like with Idenity (a J Cusak film) the ending kills the entire story. The acting in the movie including the sexual tension between Hurt and Weaver and over all make it a good movie to see just the last 10-15 min of the film are bad. Bryce Howard will soon out shine even her own father Ron Howard as her career continues, I loved her in Grinch and Phoienx was unforgettable in Ladder 49. I cant wait to see them in a film together again they had a great chemistry.
