Review: The Village

There are reasons why some people like Frailty and hate The Mangler and some people like The Mangler and hate Frailty. That statement should be self-explanatory.

There was a nine-year old girl sitting behind us in the theater who said, "That was stupid." Most of the adults I've talked to locally thought it was really good.

It's no classic, but certainly much better than what the fans who wanted nothing less than an old-age version of Wrong Turn, for that matter, made it out to be.

Also, no one in this thread has even bothered to mention anything about the theme during their "reviews."

Spoiler:
The Village was created to establish a safe haven, a feeling of protection, within the village. Note that all of the elders had had traumatic losses leading up to their relocation here. Hence the taboo color of red preached throughout the village.

What happened was that somewhere within the love that was supposed to exist hate was bred. Love created hate, violence, and eventually killed the "infection." Remember when the doctor said something like, "I have tried to close the walls but we don't know if we can control the infection (paraphrased)?" The infection spread beyond their control and almost ruined their project. Sort of like The Beach.

What the elders did to prevent hate from entering their lives instead brought fear to the residents.

And so what if the ending wasn't the greatest thing on wheels, I thought it fit the movie profile well. This movie should not be dumped into the same bucket as Child's Play but rather something like, oh, Sleepy Hollow. I didn't hear many people bitching about that one.

It wasnt just the ending that wasnt great..it was the whole movie..

It's the ending that explains everything in my spoiler.

Well i state my opinion on the last page -1/20 wont change lol. That handicapped dude was funny at first until he

Spoiler:
killed Louscious

Moral of the story:

Spoiler:
Retards are evil!

Seriously though, every bad review that I have read about the movie is negative because it wasn't scary enough. IT WASN'T TRYING TO BE A HORROR MOVIE! It was suspenseful but not suppose to be frightening. It had good filming, good diolog, and a good ending. Many people don't like the ending because it is being unfairly compaired to the Sixth Sense but it has a good ending.

Okay, speaking of script, they had good WORDS but they didnt use the dialog correctly, it was like they were TRYING TOO HARD lol. (sorry for caps) But at the beginning it was just like they were trying too hard to spit out the words to make them sound like people of the old ages (unadvanced language, like pilgrims and such) I seriously thought it was a damn pilgrim movie

I mean come on.Alot of people liked Signs and that wasnt scary 😬

Signs was cool, better than The Village

signs was ok didnt think it was great the village was better in technical terms like the cenematography, acting, and everything i just didnt find it very entertaining at all.. we were bored except when we were making fun of how stupid the story line was

and by the way

Spoiler:
he didnt kill lucious he stabbed him and he was hurt.. if he was dead ivy would have never gone to the "towns"

Crap, thats what i meant, mark my words.
My mother and I were discussing the movie the whole way home and she wanted to know if noah was HELPING Ivy or going to kill her, I told her that he

Spoiler:
busted out to go and Kill her because he wanted to stop her from getting the medicines to cure him, otherwise if he didnt want to Kill Ivy he wouldnt have tried to tackle her and fell in that hole after she moved.

If you think about it though

Spoiler:
they (at least the elders) would have to be trying to speak in that way since its not there natural accent and it would come across as forced.

Onli-Orli-

Spoiler:
I think it was more of a "if I can't have you, nobody can" type thing. Plus he was probably mad for those slaps and understood that she won't ever forgive him. You should have put the entire part about Noah in the 'spoiler' text as well.

I agree to that, one thing i want to know is.

Spoiler:
was it that old, dark cottage that Noah busted out of? Or was it the room with the lock on it? You get what im saying? See there was a cottage they showed, that Ivy went to when she slapped him, and then they locked it back, and then there was another Dark room that had that creature in a red cloak. Which one was the room he escaped from?

can somebody explain to me ivys last name and

Spoiler:
"Walker Wild Life Preserve"

Spoiler:
so there were no cretures, it was just like that to keep the villagers to stay in there boundries, but who created this, noah? but es mentally disabled

first, whats with the caps?

and second, can you be more specific of why we are full of it?

Onli-Orli -

Spoiler:
It was the room he was locked in. He found one of the suits under the floor boards.

Moonwalker -

Spoiler:
The main elder (the blind girl's father) spoke of his father being the richest man in his town. When they opened their locked chests, there was even an article that said he was a billionaire. When they decided to separate themselves from society, they used the wealth of the family to buy all of that land and they paid for it to be strickly protected like an animal reserve so nobody would bother them. The company that protects the reserve is owned and therefore named after the Walker family and that is why her name is the same as the company name. The part that I thought was especially genious is how they even avoided the loophole of airplanes. They said that they even paid off the government to make it a no fly zone so therefore they wouldn't even see airplanes that would throw off there whole scheme.
