The Village (2004)
M Night did it again.
30 July 2004
M Night is known for his great movies, and as expected this movie did not let him down. It was a unique idea for a horror film, an idea most directors wouldn't bother the challenge of making it work, not M Night, he took this original plot and made it scary. Well it wasn't that scary, it was more like an occasional gasp or so. But still a very good movie.

This is another one of those movies where no matter how much you guess and how confident you are in your prediction of the ending you are bound to be wrong, it is something which will catch you completely off guard.

I did not have much faith in the cast, seeing how M. Night usually uses heavy hitters like Bruce Willis and Mel Gibson, but the cast really met the expectations. I highly compliment Adrien Brody's performance, it was as believable as Sean Penn in I Am Sam. Very good acting on his part, though it was tough for me to watch because I kept remembering him from The Pianist, but I quickly got over that.

The movie is full of twists and turns and you are bound to jump at one point or another in the movie, it is another good M. Night movie.
