I read somewhere that The Village was M. Night Shyamalan's best and most underrated movie. I wouldn't agree with that as The Sixth Sense was his best to me. But that's my opinion. The Village is entertaining though, like most of his movies, with the right amount of suspense. The cast is great as well, all top class actors and actresses so bad acting isn't present in this movie. To be honest this is my second viewing of this movie, and I liked it more the first time but that's just because of the element of surprise that plays a big role in his movies. It's a good movie for a first time viewing.

I'll start by saying I'm barely a fan of period pieces, I very much like the cast and the red beings though. M. Night Shyamalan is incredible with his craft! Adrien Brody is so good at method acting like on a shocking level and Joaquin Phoenix is always a delight. Not a bad movie at all although I originally saw with my sister Emily not long ago and we said "what the hell" a lot, that was cute!

Well made movie. a little slow but still very interesting with a great story. mismarketed as a horror film, this period piece drama is very original and different. lots of unique and memorable shots (about 2 viewings)
