“It is very sad to see such a beautiful movie being so underrated, I believe the problem with it is that it was promoted as a horror film, this was a huge mistake because it attracted the wrong audience. Horror film fans wonu0026#39;t like this film thatu0026#39;s for sure!u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe village is a beautifully directed film, with wonderful cinematography u0026amp; atmosphere, great performances (I loved Bryce Dallas Howard powerful performance and of course Joaquin Phoenix u0026amp; Adrian Brody as well) and brilliant story! James Newton Howardu0026#39;s score fits perfectly with the filmu0026#39;s atmosphere and is also very powerful u0026amp; touching.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAs a conclusion.. I believe Shyamalan is a great film maker and the Village is one of his best works, I highly recommend it!”
