Yikes! It's a very boring movie!

Rating: 3/10 (14 October 2004)

The Village was not at all what I expected. The trailers and commercials advertised it as the scariest movie since the Sixth Sense and The Ring but that was hardly the case. First of all it was really dull. I went with a large group of friends to see it and most of them tuned out in the first 20 minutes.
Second of all, the costumes of the 'monsters' reminded me of the ghosts in the animated movie, 'Spirited Away'. I mean, what was with all of the feathers? And their 'claws' looked like plastic.
The Village's ending was also really weird because it just left you hanging. I have no idea what was going to happen and it really bugged me.
The only positive thing I have to say about this movie was that Bryce Dallas Howard, the actress who played Ivy, the blind village girl, was very good. Adrien Brody also did very well as Noah. Besides them I really disliked this movie and I don't recommend it to anyone else.
