Just got back from seeing this with the family. Believe it or not ,and without reading any reviews or any thing on this site,just from the commercials I knew exactly what the movie was going to be about. Maybe I've been watching movies for too long, but as soon as the scenerio about the villagers not being able to cross the woods was revealed in the commercials....bingo....I figured it out. Maybe I'm a fucking genius......ok...lucky guess perhaps. Anyway about the movie....I thought the acting was very good, especially Opie's daughter.Not scary at all but that could be attributed to my hindsight.The thing about a movie like this is it doesn't warrant a repeat viewing at all.One thing that bugged me was why did the elders , as part of their "hoax" set the years to be 1890's as the tombstone from the first scene suggested? The children growing up in the village wouldn't have know any differance if it was the 1800s or the year 2004, as far as their way of living was concerned, [ did I word that properly, teach Stingy, does that make sense? ] Anyway I guess what I'm saying is the movie was aight but thats about it. Maybe my 12 year old summed it up pretty good. He turned to me and said "that sucked". cute little monster.:)

major suckfest!
The Village was an awful dissapointment from beginning to end. The trailers for it lead you to believe that this was a suspenceful horror movie that would be one of the year's best. Total letdown. If they completely changed the twist, didn't reveal the falseness of the 'creatures', and got some better scripts, then you could of had a good movie!
And wdoes anybody know why Shyamalan initials his 1st name? It's prolly cause he wants us to take him serioulsy as a 'horror' director and he's hiding that his 1sy name is Melvin or something. Anyone out there know his real first name?

Some critics have said he makes critic proof movies. Critique or reveal very much of the story/plot in a review and you give it away for the movie going public. I would class it as more of a suspense film than anything else. Maybe if he had let the audience in on the secret earlier, and expanded the film in that direction, then went back, and explored the manisfestation of real creatures/demons brought on by the fears of the village it would have been more effective. However it would have been a diffrent film then...
I'd tell friends to wait until it comes out on DVD and spend a couple of bucks to rent it.

I read this thread before I went to the movie (Just got home)....and I think I enjoyed it more than I would have, had I not known the ending. And the twists. Luckily there were a few things noone mentioned...but I would have loved it anyway. Im not gonna comment on the fact that there was no blood and gore....cause I think anyone who cant enjoy a movie that doesnt have people being brutally ripped apart....is a complete idiot.
