Review of The Village (2004) by Stako — 17 Feb 2014

This is very intriguing. I thought this movie was still a cult classic, and here I come into this page seeing an 5,8 User Score. This movie deserves a bit more, let me tell you why.

Sure, it's not a movie that is here to fascinate and captivate with it's creative shots and effects - though some of the movie is very beautiful, that is largely due to the amazing soundtrack, which if you havent heard - you should, it got an Oscar for good reason. The actors do their job pretty nicely too, however I don't recall anyone making a massive impression on me. But the one thing I remember was the story. It was very timed, very trhilling and a great premise overall. Just for the premise alone, though not that original, I say this movie deserves at least a 7/10. 5.8 just doesn't do it justice - it has some very scary momments, combined with very well told lore, a great character evolution and an awesome soundtrack. Sure, it might look a bit dated, but I think it holds up pretty nicely.

Consider this just a comment, not a review. I simply had to say what I thought about this. I love this movie and I recomend it to anyone wondering if they should watch it.
