False advertising

Rating: 5/10 (1 August 2004)

I think Touchstone should be sued for misrepresenting this film as a horror film. It is not scary one jot. I think had I known it was a drama in the style of the Twilight Zone or Outer Limits then I might not have been so disappointed when I left the cinema. I think M. Night's films have progressively gotten worse from Sixth Sense. It's too bad, because I think he tries hard. I really didn't care about any of the characters in The Village, because for the most part they weren't three dimensional. It's telling when the credits roll and a group of people walk past you, saying "Man that sucked." I don't completely concur, but I'm certainly not going to rate this film over 5 out of 10.
