THE VILLAGE

PLOT

REVIEW

+ One of the best soundtracks... EVER! +

+ Outstanding cinematography. +

+ Acting masterclass for everyone involved. +

+ Brilliant sound design. +

+ Some truly great dialogue. +

+ Loads of long, brave takes. +

+ Unexpected twist in the middle. +

+ Really draws you in to the world.+

- Twist at the end is too predictable. -

- (SPOILER!) The monsters should have been real! -

BEST MOMENT

The day after Ivy and Lucius decide to marry, when Noah comes to visit Lucius (SPOILER!), and stabs him suddenly. Then Ivy finds him. What an acting masterpiece this scene is.

MY RATING
++++++++--
