The Village (2004) In-Depth Movie Review

“The Village” directed by M. Night Shyamalan is considered by many as the film that marks his turn for the worst. This film was followed by “Lady in the Water” and “The Happening” two films that, in my opinion, are weak and pretentious. Be aware that this review contains spoilers. It’s actually more enjoyable if you have seen the film and know the story. In any case the film’s plot can be summarized very easily. The population of a small, isolated countryside village believe that their alliance with the mysterious creatures that inhabit the forest around them is coming to an end I recently watched “The Village” again and I have to be honest --- it struck a different cord in me. I remember watching this film in theaters and feeling like I had been robbed. The whole marketing for this film revolved around the creatures in the woods and this isolated village. I was expecting a horror film, a thriller or something along those lines. I didn’t get that. It pissed me off. And for years I was first in line to criticize this film whenever I could. What I failed to realize at the time is that I wasn’t watching a thriller or a horror film. I was watching a love story. The marketing for this film was very well handled but it backfired. And that damage is still felt today whenever this film comes up in a conversation.
