SubscribeWith the Village, Shyamalan falls victim to the genre that made him: thrillers with a twist. Unlike that for Sixth Sense this one ain’t so good. But outside of its box, there’s a worthwhile film exploring the roles played by myth, legend and overwhelmingly fear in creating and sustaining community.
A flawed 8 out of 10.
