The Village
M. Night Shyamalan's THE VILLAGE finds the renowned writer-director crafting a suspenseful story of a small community whose inhabitants are plagued by fear of the unknown forest that surrounds them. For years, they have kept a truce with mysterious creatures in the woods by vowing never to breach a clearly defined border. However, when a young man (Joaquin Phoenix) becomes determined to explore the nearby towns, his actions are met with menacing consequences. Shyamalan continues his remarkable streak of entrancing and entertaining thrillers (THE SIXTH SENSE, UNBREAKABLE, SIGNS) with THE VILLAGE. A meticulous filmmaker, Shyamalan displays his penchant for setting up a fascinating atmosphere in every aspect of the movie, from its distinctive color scheme to its intentionally genteel dialogue to its outstanding cinematography, courtesy of Roger Deakins. Renowned cast members Phoenix, William Hurt, Sigourney Weaver, and Adrien Brody are excellent, but the true standout is Bryce Dallas Howard (daughter of director Ron Howard), who embodies the heart of the film with her vulnerable but fiercely vital performance. Like Shyamalan's other movies, THE VILLAGE has a distinct twist that offers shocking revelations, but this film's overwhelming sense of menace is what is sure to resonate with viewers long after it's over.

That hurt
For the love of God what was the point of this film? Slow, boring, more teenage-type angst than Eastenders. I've had more fun lancing a boil....on my bottom... read more »

Following the success of his first three movies, M Night Shyamalan's The Village comes to UK cinemas this weekend. The film is packed with the kind of suspense that has made the director such as a revelation in Hollywood. After featuring ghosts (The Sixth Sense), super-villains (Unbreakable) and aliens (Signs) in his last three projects, Shyamalan has lined up a similarly spine-chilling plot for The Village. The movie sees Joaquin Phoenix, who also starred in Signs, play a bold young villager... Read more
