Reviews for The Village
The Village is not completely awful, but it comes closer than one would like to admit.

In a time when Hollywood is more interested in remakes and sequels than in original movies, Shyamalan continues to tell new stories. And he's really good at it.

It’s hard to care about situations that have been designed only to obscure the ultimate twist.

A timely mention of the ways that violence begets violence, and in how effective terror can be in keeping people under control.

Shyamalan can't brings himself to abandon the familiar. Until he does, however, he's just going to keep coming back with diminishing returns.
