Enough of these

Rating: 3/10 (17 January 2005)

I bought this film on DVD and watched it at home with my wife on our digital wide-screen. I didn't know what to expect but I didn't comprehend another film with this type of ending. The Others had this type of ending as did the Sixth Sense. Those two films had some interesting interplay with the mystic and spirtial plots they had. This film was simply a scam, and the ending simply showed that once again what you were led to believe was not the truth. At that was the whole of it. I did not see that the "Truth" had anything much to do with the blind girl or her lover. Did he even live? I enjoyed the atmosphere and some parts, but I have to feel a bit like some of those who saw "Mark of the Vampire" for the first time. Although, I have to say that I enjoyed "Mark" a lot better and didn't feel that ripped off because the film had delivered; something I don't think The Village did. It was much a waste of time.
