Cinema S @cinema_sensei Aug 22 I really liked the atmosphere here. The village, the woods, the strange creatures, and that constant feeling that something was watching created a genuinely creepy experience. The twist may not work for everyone, and I can understand the criticism, but I actually enjoyed where it went. The pacing is a little slow and some characters could've been developed better, but the mood and mystery kept me invested. See more Shephard H @Coolguess. Jul 17 Why are critics hating on this movie just because of the ending? I thought it was their job to analyze the entire movie. Overall really good and tense, the mood is spooky and I thought the twist did very well in capturing the message of the film… even if it was predictable. See more Mate P @matepolcz Jul 13 The Village surprised me. I heard it was divisive, the people I follow aren't fans, but I liked it. The characters aren't anything we haven't seen before, but they are pretty well-written. The story is great, the way they present it is even better. The directing is great, I fell for it several times. The cinematography is obviously beautiful, but not one of Deakins' best in my opinion. The production design is good and the cast is amazing. The performances are overall very good, I loved Bryce Dallas Howard's performance, but her blind eye acting wasn't good especially after having seen Daredevil. By the way I had no idea she was in the film, so she being the protagonist surprised me. Adrien Brody is spectacular. SPOILERS: Both twists surprised me, although the first wasn't a stretch. The first thing I thought when I first saw the monsters is that they are horroble costumes that look like a person is literally wearig them. The big twist really good though, I didn't see it coming.

Until Disclosure Day, this was the movie I used to judge everything else against to see if what I just watched was possibly worse than this. Purely pathetic story with cheesy writing. 22 years later and I finally found a worse movie than this. See more Judah S. @Judah3963 Jun 6 This movie got much more hat than deserved. Its twist was underwhelming and predictable but its atmosphere was appropriately spooky along with its surprisingly enjoyable love story and an overall enjoyable watch (at least for the first time through). The Village may not be the most shocking M Night Shyamalan movie but it suffices as a spooky thriller. See more Cycle C @Begun236 May 27 Not Bad, but Not My Favorite See more Read all reviews
