One of M. Night Shyamalan's better films.

Rating: 6/10 (30 November 2011)

I saw this movie with the expectation that it was going to be so boring, depressing, atrociously slow paced, poorly acted and downright deplorable. It is a little slow paced and a little scary in some scenes, but the acting was executed just brilliantly. Joaquin Phoenix really came a long way in this movie unlike in signs, which was absolutely horrible. He did a decent job in that movie. But I felt he did a better job in this movie. I felt this movie could have been a little more scary and a little more faster paced. The ending was a bit of a disappointment. You find out it is set in the modern time and not in the time of the 18th or 19th century. I give The Village a 6 out 10. Like I said, it could have been more scary, faster paced and not set in the modern time. It is not a great movie, but it does have some good moments. It is much better than Signs and The Sixth Sense.
