The village was marketed wrongly but is a good suspense film

Rating: 8/10 (23 March 2013)

I saw this movie recently (2013). Was a big fan of The Sixth Sense, and thought this film is a horror movie. Didn't like Signs much, found Unbreakable an average movie. But the trailer of The Village got me interested. Believe me friends, The Village isn't what you are expecting it to be.
If you are going to watch this movie thinking its a horror movie, don't bother. The first 20 minutes have too many characters and is boring, but after that there is a nice setting up of story. The village is based on a 1900's era. The villagers in the film have a pact with creatures in the woods that they would respect each others boundary and won't harm each other till they cross it. Red colour is the bad colour which is not supposed to be taken inside the village as it attracts the creature. I would say both Joaquin Phoenix and Ivy Walker have acted brilliantly in their respective roles. They are in love, and Joaquin gets injured by a person who loves Ivy. Ivy has been shown as a blind girl. Now she must go to the Town through the woods to bring medicine for Joaquin.
As all MNS movies there are a few brilliant twists before Ivy is supposed to go to The town, while in the woods and after she reaches the town. I would say it is a well made movie. And a very under-rated suspense movie.
