MCT:May 13, 2008Shyamalan delivers again in this fabled tale of how suggestion and fear can control a society into a plateau thinking. All it takes is one person to shatter it and prove them wrong. follow along as the young girl overcomes her fears to save her love, and finds out the truth of the matters.

MCT:May 12, 2008Wow, what a major disappointment from such film genius. I guessed that ending (actually something very close to it) from the trailer.

MCT:May 11, 2008I was pleasantly surprised by this movie. It's intriguing and captivating as long as you don't look at it only as a horror movie. There is so much going on on a psychological level. I love the timing and the way everything unravels at a painstakingly perfect pace. I was very moved ( and just a little freaked out) by this movie.

M. Night Shyamalan is one of the most bizarre directors I have heard of. Whilst, some of his films are good and some are bad, it's the stories he creates, which really makes you think. 'The Village' is another one of his films which will not be for everyone. You really have to concentrate on this film, but only so you can understand what is happening. Thanks to the marketing, you enter this film, believing it will be a horror only to find out it's a romantic drama. It's a bizarre film which is even harder to explain or to review. There are some highlights about the film though, with some great score and some good acting. It's not the worst film, but it is defiantly not the best film. If you have seen his other films, give it a go, but be prepared for something unexpected.

When you first watch this movie it seems really boring until you get to about 25 minutes into the film then it gets a bit more interesting when you first see the monsters then it gets a bit more boring again,but gets a bit better later on in the film when Lucius(Phoenix) gets attacked by Noah(Brody) and Noah is taken to jail,then gets a bit better when Ivy has to go through the woods and into the town to get medicines for Lucius thats the bst part,i wont say no more but if your a fan of mystery and thrillers this is your film.

Wow, I'm sick and tired of people whinning about this and other movies like it. This movie was very good. It hada great twist! I can only agree with two things people have said, is that they should stop advertising it as horror, and you do expect some kind of twist.
However, the horror advertisment doesn't ruin the movie, and as logn as you can't figure out the twist, it is still good! In fact, if you know that theres a twist, but you still can't figure it out, it must be a PRETTY DARN GOOD TWIST! It is the same reason Twilight Zone and Alfred Hitchcock stuff was so popular. People WANTED a TWIST!!!posted 57 days ago -
The only reason some people don't like M. Night Shyamalan's movies is because they don't understand them. I must be terribly rude and say that if you don't like his films you are too simple-minded to get them. The fact is, Shyamalan has never written a horror film. All of his films are psychological feasts. They are all about something, not just meant to be scary. They all have morals. They are not meant to scare, but to enlighten. Remember the conversation that the elders have behind one of the buildings? It's in a video on this page, and it's written out just above this in the recent reviews section. Remember that? That is what this movie is about. It's not about creatures in the woods or anything even close to that. It is all there in that one dialogue. If you didn't know that, you missed the entire meaning of this film.

People who went to this movie hoping for another M. Night horror movie were undoubtedly disappointed. So disappointed, in fact, that they didn't catch the beauty and purpose of this amazing film. I loved it.

The acting in this movie is just incredible. One of Shyamalan's best movies. This movie and Signs are my favorites of his.

The Village starts out as a great movie, but it then crashed, burned, and should have been taken out into the backyard and shot. A BIG letdown at the end. I thought M. Night had higher standards.

i like this movie because it's a mystery!! i don't think it's supposed to be scary...the media people just think scary always sells, but I'd take a "thrilling mystery" over a scary, gory movie ANY day!! People who don't like this movie are already to accustomed to the horrifically disturbing movies...
