The acting in the Village was wonderful, especially Adrian Brody as the initially amiable schizophrenic lost soul and Ron Howard's stunningly beautiful daughter as Ivy, the courageous and tenacious blind girl.

I cannot tolerate digital mega-special effects anymore, it annoys and repulses me. The power of M. Night Shyamalan's movies are that they are subdued and intropective, yet amazingly creative.

I think I expected a scary movie...like signs or sixth sense. We went on my wedding anniversary and had dinner at a Mexican Restaurant. We had saved for the occasion as we are on a tight budget. My husband and I love horror movies. They don't make many lately so we were looing forward to this movie. The movie makes you think, but it is not a horror flick. I expected a different kind of movie and was prepared for it. I wanted fun, entertainment, a few chills, but it's not that kind of movie. It is not a bad movie. Some of the acting was superb. If I had been in a different frame of mind, I would have liked it more.

My wife, son and i thought it was a thought-provoking film. Felt like a Robert Frost poem. Can't wait for Shyamalan's next movie.
