A beautiful film

Rating: 10/10 (23 February 2006)

It's unfortunate the way this film was advertised, it turned a few people off to it. Those people missed a brilliant film that they would have loved.
M. Night Shyamalan brings us a beautiful film set in the 1800's about a small village in a massive clearing completely surrounded by woods, where "creatures" live. The people who inhabit this town have a truce with these creatures, they stay out of the forest and the creatures stay out of the town.
Recently though, some people have been breaking this rule, and the truce is starting to end. From then on, the film takes many different paths and ends up on one that you may have not expected, which those who love good film will enjoy whole heartedly.
People who enjoy beautiful cinematography, great editing, an amazing film score, wonderful performances, and an overall very intelligent story should definitely see this film.
