Pretencious and predictable

Rating: Null/10 (8 September 2004)

Contains Spoiler It's very easy to follow the directors stream of surprises now. First was The Sixth Sense which was an incredible film, then came Unbreakable which was also very good, then Signs that gave what could have been an interesting story a tedious and predictable look, and now The Village which is even more predictable than Signs.
It has a nice story, somehow I like it, very nice cast, good story, nice atmosphere....BUT - you already guessed the ending after watching for five minutes....***SPOILERS*** My thoughts were: "Either this story is set in the 19th century, or it is set in the 21st century, only it is a village far away from the world as the rest of us know it"....and what do you know; I was right..
BUT - nevertheless, an OK story, worth seeing, but don't make the same mistake I did and expect, or even dare HOPE, for a film as original as The Sixth Sense...
6/10
