In a , single village in olde Pennsylvania, there lies a pact between the people of the village and the creatures who reside in the bordering woods: the townspeople do not inscribe the woods, and the creatures do not enter the village.

M.Night Shyamalan - A
This film deserves more respect than it has been shown. Preconceptions that this film is going to be a 'thrill ride' or another 'jump out of your seat' monster/slasher movie are perhaps why this movie has had such mixed reviews.

Signs had its moments, but the end result was a pompous and ludicrously illogical film. And the twist ploy felt forced.
With The Village, Shyamalan continues to paint himself int...
Village, The
Risible, illogical trepidation moving picture that depends for its effect on fooling its audience, when most will be trail at the of the numero uno in working to his ox-like contrivances.
