Fail to archive it's potential

Rating: 6/10 (4 June 2010)

The village it definitely a unique movie with fresh mixture of horror,thriller and drama try to create something new in horror film and it has a lot of great idea and potential to become a creative horror movie with it's own fresh thriller that he gave to his story and with great twist in it but because several flaw mostly in his cinematography that looks like an amateur shoot taken by guy whose done The Blair witch project especially some scene that will take some time later in the movie maybe because it seems that the DP wanted to create something different in his movie by combining old style and modern horror scene but turn out to be total failure for this movie some important scene are becoming blurry because of this and that makes the plot become lost and the character looks like confused with their own plot and the editing is also failed in middle of it started to looks like the Blair witch project combining with other old school horror movie the movie itself that started promising but due to lack of some of these major flaw M night has failed to capture his own well written story to the screen and eventually lead to a total disaster that destroy both of the story major twist and mystery that makes this creepy and mysterious in the first place and looks like a cheap horror movie near the addendum of the story and with some bad editing that made his own vision and the movie recipe turn to be destroy this movie potential but although of it disaster recipe at least the acting was great especially Howard who played the blind girl but with a kind and brave characteristic and to Jaqiuen phoenix as a very mysterious and very curious man that try to solve the town problem also for it support cast Adrien Brody did a pretty good job as a problematic village boy whose suffer a mental disorder and as the many other actor did a pretty good job too and in the end at least the casting and the beautifully musical score still save this movie from becoming a total recipe for disaster
