One way to keep you on the edge

Rating: Null/10 (11 September 2004)

I saw this as a staff screening at midnight with a few others. I was expecting to walk out at around 2am scared senseless, but it wasn't the case. This was a great psychological thriller, when even knowing the twist and secret to the film, I was still scared in one of the last scenes. I thought it was very cleverly done, having Ivy as a blind person, and see what us humans will to just to preserve our way of life. Its also remarkable to talk to others and hear the underlying story of this great film be mirrored in so many area's of our lives. I initially linked it with Australian & International polatics. Another person made the relevant connection with different cultures within the human race. There are so many facets this film covers and really makes you think. He got me once with the "Sixth Sense" again with "Signs" but "The Village" has made it a trifecter.
