      dave j Co- produced, co-written and directed by Swamy M. Kandan with Greg (Jonathan Bennett) broken up with spouse, renting one of the rooms with a student researcher / journalist Rachel (Ali Faulkner) stumbling on to a cult of a local town that was supposed to have ended thousands of years ago. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member worst movie i've ever seen. acting? horrible. writing? elementary. plotline? nonexistent. action? none to speak of. the makeup looks like it was done by a junior high student. the music is the only thing in this movie that tells you how to feel, and most of the time it's wrong, because NOTHING HAPPENS. i like myself a little less for having watched this movie. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member We're a small community that doesn't like change! A small village seems to be suffering from hysteria. A group of researchers are sent in and they hope to relieve the outbreak from society. Will the researchers become the latest victims, will the outbreak spread outside of the village, or will the researchers lock up whatever ghouls caused the mass hysteria? "I'm actually not here to order a meal." Swamy Kandan, director of Catch your Mind, delivers The Secret Village in his second major motion picture. The story line for this picture is fairly ridiculous and reminded me of a poor man's Darkness Falls (yes, a not as good Darkness Falls). The action and special effects were just okay and the acting was below average. The cast includes Jonathan Bennett, Ali Faulkner, Stelio Savante, Richard Riehle, Kef Lee, Tobi Gadison, and Miriam Weisbecker. "Your life is at risk. Don't trust anyone." We randomly grabbed this new picture off Netflix because we were in the mood for a horror picture. Unfortunately, this was a bit bland and straight forward. This definitely could have been more intense and better. Overall, I recommend skipping this picture, even if you're a horror movie fan. "I trusted you." Grade: F Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Overly dramatic music, people skulking around in cowls, and a "Ooo! we got cha!" twist ending that is painfully predictable. Skip it. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Another sad case of a good actress in a silly and bad movie. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member An interesting premise involving Salem, the witch trials, and Ergot (the fungus used to produce LSD and some prescription poisoning) provides The Secret Village with a potentially good storyline, but the film plays out in an extremely predictable way for which a few creepy moments cannot compensate.
