The perfect Thriller for your "Average Joe" kinda guy

Rating: 8/10 (18 April 2005)

In the movie The Village you have a group of people that have an old world colonial kind of town set up just outside a thick wooded area. The town seems to live in a fearful state because of the creatures that live in the woods. As the story progresses you begin to wonder along with a few of the other characters of the movie if this village is the only one like it and if the supposed creatures actually exist. When one of the characters is injured a blind girl volunteers to go out and find another town and get the medicine needed to heal the hurt man. Well she then finds out through her father that the creatures are nothing more than a myth used to keep the people of the village from ever leaving. So to me this story is perfect for the kind of person that likes the kind of movies that aren't completely out of the ordinary, like that kid that always says that movies too OUT THERE for me. Well The Village in the beginning half of the movie is OUT THERE but as it gets closer to the end it brings you back down to earth and is really a thriller story that you can say, "HEY! that could actually happen!". Well like I've said in the past this is just one mans opinion. But I really recommend this movie for people who aren't really SCI FI freaks but like semi strange semi believable stories.
