The Village

[IrishDutchman]

I watched this a while ago with my mates, and none of them liked it, but I loved it. I heard the reviews it got weren't too hot either, so I want to hear wat you guys think of it.
* SPOILERS * (hehe, I feel like I'm on IMDB)
All my friends thought it was lame that the creatures didn't actually exist, but I thought it was smart to make you think they didn't exist, then show you another one, and you begin to doubt it. It wasn't very scary, but smart, like Signs. I like M. Night Shyamalan.Whay do you guys think?

It sucked. I laughed a few times, but the ending really blew it. But I dislike alot of movies that people like, so .. yeah.

[IrishDutchman]

Meh, you think? Better than the usual everyone dies, or the heroine saves the day if you ask me. I thought Joacquin Phoenix's character was a bit odd, so was the girl coming to think of it...

[EvilEggCracker]

I liked it. It wasn't amazing or anything, nor scary, but it was enjoyable.

[dunchy]

I thought it was crap.

"We can't look at the colour, if we see the colour we have to look away." blah blah blah blah blah.

What happens if there's a red sunset? Is that an omen to hide in the kitchen for the rest of your life?

[IrishDutchman]

Yeah, that is a load of shite, all the stuff about red, along with the women going on about how she could see everything, even though she was blind, and Phoenix being all stern and weird.
What mainly attracted me to it was how different it was from your mainstream Hollywood horror/thriller, some variation, you know?
