I have watched this film again after several years. Written, produced and directed by M. Night Shayamalan.
The Village has an all star cast. A big twist as expected. Bryce Dallas Howard, William Hurt, Sigourney Weaver, Joaquin Phoenix, Adrien Brody, Brendan Gleeson, Judy Greer. Set centuries ago in America. A small village similar to the Amish lifestyle. A thriller drama cert 15. A close knit community that fears the outside world. There is a love story. Scary creatures lurk in the woods. As people are falling I'll. Some are willing to go to the nearest town to fetch medicine. I like he soundtrack. Bryce and Judy would again play sisters in Jurassic World. 



 A SciFi drama by M. Night Shyamalan. Starring Mel Gibson, Joaquin Phoenix, Abigail Breslin, Cherry Jones and Rory Culkin. Cert 12. Aliens have come to Earth and this story focusses on a family farm. Odd things go on here and there. Crop circles are discovered. A clever film as most of the ones by this director are. Abigail was cute. I eventually sell DVDs on ebay. There are films like Independence Day, Skyline, Encounters Of The Third Kind, Invaders From Mars, The Darkest Hour, Skywalker Ranch, The Fifth Wave, Dark Skies, Roswell, The X-Files, The Outer Limits, The Day The Earth Stood Still to name a few. James Newton Howard provides the soundtrack. A 2002 Touchstone Pictures release. There are comedic moments as expected. Creepy scenes too. The children and their dialogue are the highlights. Be interesting to see grown up Abigail react to her younger self. Also see returning actors in future films. Glass is currently in production. America is a fascinating place considering the locations that they have used. Shyamalan always has a cameo role in his films. Great acting. Worth seeing discussions, theories and reviews of this film. Remember "swing away."
