Whilst it's still fresh in my mind, we saw 'The Village' last night at the cinema. Directed by M.Night Shyamalan (Signs, 6th Sense, Unbreakable) - the film revolves around an isolated Pennsylvania village surrounded by dark forests. A sinister presence inhabits the woods, and the story revolves around the consequences of when the villagers transgress the boundaries of the forest.
In some respects this movie is the antithesis of 'Signs' where the power of faith gave one the ability to fight back; in 'The Village' unquestioning blind faith has a paralyzing effect on people in the face of adversity.
I give this movie a thumbs up. 8 out of 10.
