The Village (2004)
If you enjoyed Night's other films, you should like this one
I am one of those people who has fully enjoyed all three of Night's previous films. THE VILLAGE had me laughing out loud, gripping my chair in fright, and getting choked up all during the period of two hours. I say any movie that can evoke those emotions is a success. The story is intriguing, the acting impeccable (kudos to John Heard, Adrian Brody, and Ron Howard's daughter in her debut). There are many twists, most of which i didn't see coming. Night's signature "trick" ending is also satisfactory, although the film seems to end rather abruptly. I would recommend this film to anyone. I'm predicting this one breaking $100 million in North America. Night is a great storyteller and director. The music is moving, the cinematography delightful, and the dialogue is kept interesting. I'd give it 8/10 stars.
