I agree with you. But I don't think it is a "horror" movie. It is an "issue-oriented" movie that uses suspense more than horror. This movie is about the abusive power of fear in the hands of the powers-that-be. How many in our culture hear "be afraid, be very afraid?" When fear dominates the culture it becomes stagnant, and the search for truth shuts down. For those who went to the theater, falsely led to believe this was a horror movie, I don't blame them for being disappointed.


Boy, you got to carry that weight a long time!

I think the village had the potential to be as big as some of M. Night's other movies. If he had made it move a bit faster and maybe worked on the dialogue a little bit, it would have been better, but i think for what it was, it was pretty decent
