I saw this movie in theaters with my sister, a friend, and my friend's brother. Needless to say we were all expecting a straight-out horror flick but I am not sure why...what with M. Night's reputation for twists. Though I know others have disliked the Village, the four of us loved it and all for different reasons. Yeah it's a thriller and it can get pretty creepy at times, but I like it because of the love story it contains. There are such simple, sweet gestures of love that took my sentimental, cheesy movie loving breath away! The acting is superb (what exactly can Adrien Brody NOT do?), the story is shocking, and the overall effect is great!
Well, lets face it, M. Night Shyamalan pretty much stopped being clever after The Sixth Sense, Signs, and The Village. I mean how awful was Lady in the Water, seriously. He cast himself as the man who changes the world. That pretty much sums him up. The Village might be the last good thing he did. And sadly, a lot of people hate it. I enjoyed the Village because it reminds me of "Witness" with monsters. Real, fake, there are still monsters. Who are the monsters is the question. It's soft, quiet, poetic, smooth, and as it turns out, Bryce Dalles Howard's movie.
The Village is a timely film that depicts a sect of people in search of removing themselves from the chaos associated with "city life." With their families having experienced mayhem in the cities over the past years, they are found in a quiet place of solitude separated from the cities by a huge forest. It is made clear to their community that you should never enter the forest for fear of coming upon the "monsters" that inhabit it. When a family member becomes ill, one member of the sect chooses to enter the forest to travel to the city to secure the medicines needed. What ensues is challenging and suspenseful!

This movie was not what I expected - but that can be a good thing too. Most movies today are copies of earlier ones or just unimaginative. The Village has a good story, and great cast. At times it was slow, but the suspense was good at times. I did not guess the ending - which is a big plus to me. Give this one a try - you might like it too.
LOVE this movie! M Night, you outdid yourself with this one. You just can't go wrong with Phoenix - can not get enough of Joaquin!
