Summary: Not a Horror or a Thriller but a Weak Peg Legged Love Story
Review: Warning this movie is not a thriller or a chiller, a horror
movie. It's a love story that had a lot of potential if
it were not so monotonous, two sided, and unilateral.

I happen to love movies i mean if they are Good there are
Good everyone has a different opinion. So it would
seem a Film is really only subverse and Relative when
anyone comes down to telling the truth about a film.

That is why i am telling you the truth.. Dont buy this
movie. I felt Saddened at watching this movie, not because
of any thing in the movie but because it really threw
me for a loop how sorry it was. The reason i was sad was
because i pictured all the poor people who were actually
going to buy this film or already had and were watching
what i was right then. Right then it occured to me i would
write a review to warn other people about this film.

Personally i didnt feel sad for myself i was perplexed
throughout the films entire beggining. Here's Why.

But first i would like to apologize to anyone who
watched it. I DID like and still do Signs and The Sixth Sense.
However i would like to apologize on behalf of such a
movie so richly colored in duo tone, quality yes but in Depth
as well.

1) It took 20 minutes into the film to get any sense of
rythym, before hand of which was wallpapered with
odd banter from the pages of the script. It was so
odd all i could do was laugh and honestly i was perplexed
because nothing they were saying made any sense that was
tangible. I felt myself for a lack of words in fact.

Perhaps that is the POWER of this film and M night shalamiman
Ya that's it. IT TAKES OUR VOICES AND MINDS.

2) Only later it became interesting or at least i thought
so, in actuality it turned out it was only relief from
being so bored where i was.

3) The camera angles were all very basic nothing besides
the basic textbook shot. It was so sad. I kept wishing
i was there to say "Your Doing it all Wrong,
Try this or this for christ sakes.!"

4)The guy who wrote the movie........Put Himself in the Movie.

"Shivers" NO STARS AT ALL. As a writer and dierector
it is his or her responsibility to amuse or capture us.. instead
i was just lost. It very ironic they had a blind girl finding her
way through the woods in this film. Kudos to Hellen Keller and walking sticks i GUESS........................... oh my god.
This movie wasnt Horror it was Horrible. It left me scared alright.. scared to pay another buck to see another one of
M night SHALAMALANYMINYMANMANS films.

Oh my god what a clincher. Dont say you werent warned.
This Movie stinks like Dirty Socks and Boiled cabbage.

SHrieks!!!!!

Summary: Major Disappointment!
Review: When the commericals showed for this movie, I naturally assumed this film was about true creatures in the forest- but in all bluntness that was a load of lies. This movie is not a thriller, it was hardly a suspense film. Once again I'm fooled into believing that a film is a good film because of a few fast scenes they show on commericals. The Village I thought would be eeriee, at least exciting somewhat. But it is none of that. It's just a boring small town with small town problems, mainly the first hour is about boring relationships that I could have cared less about. The actors are dull and so is the entire plot when you finally get the jist of what is going on. There's a twist at the ending that is truly the only scene that made me open my eyes a bit, but then I sunk back into depression after a minute as the tale once more grew dull. This movie in my opinion is lousy. If you enjoy watching films though about ordinary people living ordinary lives (which I don't) you'll think it's all right. But for people who assumed this was going to be a fast- paced thriller about the supernatural in any way, forget it, there's nothing of the kind in this movie so don't even bother renting it out like I did.
Mainly, if you're still interested in watching this, it's about a small town surrounded by a forest and the tale the parents tell the kids is that there are unknown creatures in the forest lurking around. As long as the kids stay out of the forest, the creatures will not cross their borders and terrorize them. Yeah, it sounds interesting. But like I said, when you catch the truth of this plot, you'll realize it does not catch at all the excitement that the commericals made it seem like. In my review, this movie is a major disappointment.
