DVD Synopsis

M. Night Shyamalan, the creative mind behind The Sixth Sense and Signs, wrote and directed this characteristically atmospheric thriller. The rustic village of Covington is a small town in rural Pennsylvania that is home to 60 souls. The citizens of Covington lead a quiet and peaceful life, but not without an unusual caveat -- terrible creatures lurk just outside the borders of the village, and the people of Covington have reached an agreement of sorts with the beasts, in which they are allowed to go about their business as long as they never cross the village's boundaries. However, this precarious balance is upset when a headstrong young man, Lucius Hunt (Joaquin Phoenix), decides to find out what lies outside Covington, and unwittingly invites the wrath of the creatures upon the town. The Village also stars Sigourney Weaver, William Hurt, Adrien Brody, Judy Greer, and Bryce Dallas Howard; both Kirsten Dunst and Ashton Kutcher were at one time attached to the project, but both left the cast before filming began. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

I LIKED THE MOVIE. IT WAS A GOOD SUSPENCE MOVIE WITHOUT ANY CURSE WORDS OR GORE. GRANTED IT IS BETTER TO WATCH IT WITH SUBTITLES. BUT THIS MOVIE WAS RECOMMENDED BY A FRIEND. I ENJOYED IT. I ENJOYED IT EVEN MORE THE SECOND TIME.

This movie was one, huge joke. I was glad I did not pay full price for admission, and even then I felt like asking for my money back.

This is a very different movie. M. Night Shyamalan says he wrote the part of the male love interest for Joaquin Phoenix. Bryce Dallas Howard is a daughter of Ron Howard, and plays the female love interest. Adrien Brody is scary as the strange villain. The other "name actors" are all great. If you like variety, this is a thriller that will surprise you at every turn.
