This Village Found Its Idiot (SPOILERS GALORE, but who cares?)

Rating: Null/10 (17 August 2004)

The first half was a great movie, very creepy and atmospheric, with the hints of something very wrong. The scenes where the village is invaded were absolutely terrifying, but it all falls apart when the Big Secret is revealed (STOP NOW if you don't want to know what it is).
Can someone possibly explain why Walker, who is apparently rich enough to set this whole thing up and pay security guards (his name was on the trucks) to guard it and to have airlines reroute flights away from his "wildlife preserve" cannot figure out SOME better way of getting medicine than to send his BLIND daughter on a day-long walk through the woods? Even if he knows the monsters are fake, she could have been killed in any of a dozen ways. And he doesn't bother to tell her about the wall? And the security guards? And that the road she's going to wander out on is frequented by three-ton hunks of metal moving at 50mph? What kind of an idiot would do that?
Once the supernatural element turned out to be simply trickery, the movie fell apart into utter nonsense.
