First off that girl was NOT blind....

Rating: Null/10 (3 August 2004)

Two of my closest friends and I were ushered into The Village after being denied access to the gentle teen stoner comedy that we originally wanted to view. So I imagine we went into the whole affair not altogether thrilled. However, being somewhat of an insane movie buff, I was somewhat interested in the film, considering the prior works of the director. I was not amused. And it wasn't just me either. My friends and I (as well as the whole audience) found ourselves laughing out loud instead of cowering in fear. Our first qualm was that, although the female lead 'Ivy' was cursed with blindness, she still ran, broke up fights and looked people dead in the eye when talking to them. It was not without its moments however, the bad color (red) among barren forest gave some scenes a somewhat shocking beauty...but these moments were short lived as another 'twist' sent us back off into peals of laughter. A movie that began with some potential, spiraled so out of control it was almost a farce to itself. I in fact have half a mind to find the director and hit him a few times with a stick.....teach them for sending me to the quiet room...
