The Village (Widescreen Vista Series)
M. Night Shyamalan (SIGNS, UNBREAKABLE, THE SIXTH SENSE), the director who brought you the world's greatest thrillers on DVD, now creates his most thought-provoking triumph yet ... breaking international records and dazzling audiences around the globe! THE VILLAGE is a smart, edge-of-your-seat chiller crawling with terrifying surprises and frightening twists and turns. An isolated, tight-knit community lives in mortal fear of an oppressive evil inhabiting the forbidden forest just beyond their tiny village. So frightening that no one ventures into the woods ... until one villager dares to face the unknown. With unforgettable performances from Joaquin Phoenix, Sigourney Weaver, William Hurt, Adrien Brody, and newcomer Bryce Dallas Howard, this powerful motion picture is one of Hollywood's best psychological thrillers and ranks with the best of Hitchcock! more

Great movie, naysayers not withstanding !
As you can see from the variations in the reviews, people are all over the map with this one. Honestly, I don't know how you can not like this movie.Not only did I enjoy it the first time, it's the kind of movie I can watch over and over. M. Night admits in one of the DVD extras that he...

A complete insult to its audience
Let's set aside fairly sophomoric criticisms such as the movie was boring or not scary. If you really want to know the reason why this movie is bad, read Roger Ebert's review. It's absolutely perfect in describing the movie's fundamental flaw. Essentially, he makes the argument that the movie is...

'Those we do not speak of...'
In this film by M. Night Shyamalan, a peaceful village stands in a clearing in the middle of a great wood. The villagers grow their own food, make their own clothes, and make no contact with the towns beyond the wood. It is a sanctuary of innocence, kept away from the sinful settlers of the...

It could be a better movie!! Much better!!
The subject matter is great, but quite bad handle. And i mean that this movie could be an exciting movie but it wasn't.It's a boring movie. Lack of suspense over the 40 min, and the rest was pretty predictable.

GREAT!!!
Socialogy goes Hollywood. If you are a thinking person tuned into the world today, you will LOVE this movie. If you are an action only person seeking a horror/action flick, this is not it. 5 stars for a great idea, and exicution. 5 stars for the social view it folds under the hood. Great for...

Well Worth the Watch
A well done Hitchcockian tale of twists and surprises. This will keep you biting your nails and guessing right up to the end. Just when you think you've got it figured out, another corner in the maze arrives. As you make the turn, something else is there that you didn't expect. Although the...

entertaining
I found the dvd quite entertaining but I like the fact that it shows young people that you can 'have roots and wings.' The fact that the title character could use her head and her athletic ability is great.

Brilliant and clever
I've read some of the many critiscms from other people on this board about The Village, and really can't understand it. Those who say it's not scary enough are really missing the point. OK, so it's being marketed (rather inaccuratly) as a thriller, but it's so much more then that. It's deep and...

Underappreciated
I consider myself somewhat of a fan of this director, and I can't help but feel that "The Village" was somewhat slighted by the mainstream. I found it scary and captivating, as so many other of his films. Not his best work, but it does make for a marvelous period piece that is more intelligent...

AMAZING. DONT LIE!
Wow so many people that rate this movie are dumb and have no vision for a good movie! This movie is so damn good! Between the writing, the acting and the music which is so angelic, this is one of my favorite films ever! I hear so many people say they thought this movie was stupid because it...
