A Twist With A Plot Attached

Rating: 3/10 (13 February 2005)

I just couldn't get into this movie. It promised so much and had a great concept but the plot was just far too slow and scattered. In the end it seemed to me M Night was more concerned about his renowned twists rather than the actual storyline.
Somebody once wrote that Manchester was an Airport with a city attached too it, well to me The Village was a twist with a storyline attached to it.
Disappointed by poor marketing too, built it up to be at least a tiny bit scary which this film wasn't...I know this has nothing to do with the film itself but it just added to my disappointment
However I will say that the acting is good in a film that could have been so much better
