The Village
Reviewed by Trisha Phillips, age 15
The MPAA rating for The Village is PG-13 for a scene of violence and frightening situations.
The Village is packed with seat wrenching scenes that will keep your attention throughout the whole movie. The villagers are mortally afraid of the ‘creatures’ that live in the woods surrounding the village. The creatures also keep them from traveling to the ‘towns’ outside of the woods. For the past several years they have had a mutual alliance with the creatures, the villagers don’t enter the woods and the creatures don't come into the valley, but lately they have been venturing into the village.
Most of the townspeople are content with living off the land, but when Ivy, blind from a young age, finds out that the only way to save her fiancé from mortal injuries is to travel through the woods into the towns, she takes on the challenge with only her heart and her father’s confidence to guide her.
Throughout the movie you find caring and loving people who all work together to keep their village safe and homely, but nonetheless they are extremely afraid of death and hardships. The end has a very surprising twist, but what else would you expect from the maker of Signs and The Sixth Sense?
