A bunch of people hide out in the woods somewhere.

I wonder if there isn't a lot of in-breeding going on in this village? Well when a bunch of people decide to cut themselves off from the rest of the world to form their own little community.....
well, you do the math.
At the risk of appearing to contradict myself, The Village is both boring and interesting at the same time. By this I mean it's boring in it's delivery but has an interesting overall idea. I would describe it as a slow-paced (talkative), mystery-thriller. There was 1 or 2 tense moments during the course of the film but it really doesn't get moving until the very end. This means there is ample time for you to take a few naps or go to the bathroom and stare at yourself in the mirror and ask yourself the meaning of life.
So in closing, If you don't mind talk padding your mystery-thriller, then by all means check The Village out. For the rest of you, seeing this movie will probably leave you with "mixed feelings"; an interesting idea but could have been delivered better, i.e., less talk and more creepy sh*t happening.
