The Village: Hit or Miss?

[karinka13]

I really liked this movie. Even though the monsters looked, as my friend said, like something that would attack a Power Ranger, it was a great movie. Very predictable, but suspenseful enough to keep you on the edge of your seat anyway. It was one of those movies that are scary when you see it in theatres and scary afterwards as well. I have to admit that I was freaked out. O and Yes, I did see M. Night, but I won't tell...

At first, I thought the movie was alright. The storyline was decent, but it's a typical M. Night movie. He uses the same techniques in all of his movies (angles of shots, things walking by camera, etc.).
Then, I was talking to a friend and found something out. The basic storyline is completely ripped off from a book.
