M. Night Shyamalan’s The Village Deserves a Second Chance

The movie The Village centers around Ivy Walker, a young, blind woman living in a secluded colonial village with a dark secret. The villagers were cautioned against the mysterious creatures lurking in the surrounding woods and forbidden from entering them. This isolated community existed in a vague location, cut off from other settlements due to the perceived dangers of the outside world – referred to as ‘The Towns’. While the film’s ending proved controversial, The Village is a well-crafted thriller with strong storytelling and captivating performances that deserves a second look.
