The Village of the Damned-The Village */2

Rating: 1/10 (4 December 2013)

Dreadful 2004 film where a group of villagers have isolated themselves from the outside seeing corruption and general evil outside of their borders. They are led by William Hurt, an extremely self-righteous man.
Supposedly, creatures are outside of their borders. The creatures begin to descend upon this terrible movie.
Joaquin Phoenix loves a blind girl and they plan to wed before fate intervenes and he is stabbed by the town lunatic, a man who rarely speaks, but whose laughter tells you at once that he is a maniac. Adrien Brody took this part and you wonder how 2 years after copping an Oscar for the masterpiece "The Pianist," he would venture into such utter nonsense.
The writing is ridiculous. The head decides to break a vow and go into the town for needed medicine.
The picture is frightening all right since it is so terrible.
