They lucky they aren't, because Piglet would've shot those phony ass elders moment they step in his yard. Member that sign he had with his grandfather's name on it? "Trespassers Will [Be Shot Dead]".
I’ve been a stan for this movie since I walked out of the theater and have never wavered! It was deeply misunderstood on release. The acting?? Cinematography?? Score?? It’s just stunning, and I hope more people revisit it. Loved this reaction!! ❤
i remember being disappointed and i think it had a lot to do with the marketing surrounding the film and the hype surrounding Shamalayn following The Sixth Sense
It was criminally mis-marketed. Only those who went into it blind loved it. If you'd seen ads for it and/or knew it was M.N.Shyam., you were expecting one thing but got another, so most odd those people didn't like it. I freaking love it.
100%! I remember people being disappointed and saying stuff like the twist and the monsters not being "real" is stupid but that's because a lot of them went into it thinking it was a horror. Not entirely their fault as I remember all the commercials for it being focused a lot on the monster aspect of it and not much else. So I get it. But I think a lot of people didn't.. pivot their expectations on what type of movie it was when they realized that's not what the movie was going for so they didn't give it much of a chance afterwards. I actually really like this movie, but you definitely shouldn't go into it thinking it's supposed to be a "scary movie".
@@LadyBeyondTheWall I’m one of those people because I did expect it to be a horror movie due to how it was advertised. I left the movie theater totally pissed as a young adult. I’m much older now and can appreciate the twist but my younger self is still extremely MAD at all that transpired after the murder scene. 😆
@moviesthatsit thanks. I saw the village in the theater and I wasn’t disappointed but then i saw lady in the water and I thought that Hollywood doesn’t know how to market his movies . But they’re beautifully written and shot and they’re all about growth of one’s inner self and we know hollyweird can’t have that advertised

By the time it came out, people were expected M. Knight's twists, so it didn’t have as much punch. I still enjoyed it at the time, but not nearly as much as his earlier movies.
Ivy, the redhead blind girl, is actor director Ron Howard's daughter. She is an excellent actress. Also, 3 actors in this film were also in M. Knights movie SIGNS
I was wondering the same thing. I’m trying to figure out the 3rd actor without going to IMDB to find it. Trying to exercise my memory (early memory loss issue here) & I’m a movie buff especially M. Night movies. So it’s killing me I can’t figure it out! She was also in another movie of his “Lady in the Water” another Sci-Fi thriller. But I’m gonna have to Google the IMDB now anyways. I gotta know the 3rd actor or I’ll be up all night thinking too hard on it!
There are clues throughout the film to it taking place in modern times. I started questioning it when Ivy was having that conversation with her aunt at her sister's wedding.
Your reaction did not disappoint. I loved it! This has been my favorite Shyamalan since the day I first saw it. I remember being mesmerized by this film and the twist blew me away. The soundtrack still takes my breath away. It was lovely to watch it again for the first time through your eyes.
They left modern civilization because of all of the violence and trauma. They didn't understand that human nature makes people do bad things in any environment or era. Cain and Abel?
Yup, but some cultures foster the bad, and some culture cull the weeds. There IS a huge difference between places/times for the saturation of good/bad behaviors. It's not an irrelevant constant.
I dunno. I'd be willing to try it for the right environment. Say, Hobbiton. It's wild that Walker had some land, was an expert in American History, built that "preserve", got people to sign on to playing the part, and had a private security company protect it. All so they could just Try to get back to a simple, good life to pass on to their children and heirs. I often think it's the mega cities that are harming Us and causing the mental, emotional, spiritual, and psychological illness We suffer. It doesn't have to be like they did it in the movie, but if we went back to smaller cities, towns, and villages, I wonder if we'd be happier and saner overall. If We do, I've got dibs on Hobbiton or The Cotswolds

The part where the monster just walks out of nowhere reminds me of Signs. The alien just walks casually into the scene in the news segment. Not quite a jump scare, but it jolting for sure.
WHAT A TWEEST! Basically the elders created a community to shield their children and so on from the evils of man (Specifically city people) i believe there's even a scene where they say they paid to have the park a no-fly zone.
Yup, no fly zone and unmapped. Also, if you notice, Kevin's truck says "Walker Nature Preserve" and Ivy's family name is Walker. Her dad's family owned (and still owns) that land and in the flashback, this is all his idea.
Yeah, I think the twist would have worked better without Shyamalan's cameo. It made it too blatant. All we needed was a couple of "Nature Reserve - Keep Out" signs to get the gist.
Trying to shield human nature from human nature. No logic. They must believe in "evil" as an external entity, rather than human nature, like so many still does.
This happened in Alaska too, found a whole family that went up when World War 2 started and hid deeeeep in Alaska and some wildlife division people came accross their cabins flying over it. The people left knew nothing about society beyond 1938 but they brought them back checked them out at a hospital and the people chose to go back to their lives they’ve built . Damn I love this movie!!!! IVY is such a badass!!! U need to see “the Visit” by M Night too, it’s great too and the twist! haven’t seen this since it came out but loved the movie and have forgotten about it so I’m stoked to see it pop up on your channel!
It was marketed as a horror film and people got mad when they didn't get something like Friday the 13th or Saw out of it. They couldn't see the beauty that the film was....only that it "wasn't scary".
A lot of the reason was because of the twist ending. When you think a little deeper, they basically sacrificed their special needs son. That in and of itself is gross.

This is my absolute favorite M. Knight movie, and I'm so glad you enjoyed it as well. This movie generated so much hate when it came out, people thought they were going to see a true horror film, every preview of this movie hyped up the horror angle, they even had the horror movie voice narration in the trailer, and people got a slow burner of a film with a mind twist instead of horror. I believe this caused a ripple effect for M. Night's next few films as people were tired of being lured into his movies being one genre only to get a completely different film. This is particularly true with the very next movie he did called Lady in Water, which was a pretty good movie as well.
I'm a big fan of Lady in the Water for the perfomances. There's a bit of self-wank (though admittedly critics were panning M Night for his twists at the time), and the story is bananas, but Paul Giamatti acts his butt off and so does Bryce Howard.
Loved seeing you enjoy this :)and thank you to @EOM for the editing and all the work so we can appreciate J and the dogs :). Here til you all call it a wrap :)
Yes and No. I saw this in the theatre, because everyone (including myself), loved The Sixth Sense. People walked out disappointed in the ending, and thought the twist ending was ridiculous.
JL, if you liked this movie, you NEED to see Lady in the Water. It's another Shyamalan film with Bryce Dallas Howard and a lot of other familiar faces. You'll laugh, you'll cry, and you'll jump.
I saw this movie with a friend from work who was gay. He thought Noah was a scorned lover, and stabbed Lucious out of spite as he was in love with Lucious. I viewed this through my hetero eyes, and saw Noah disposing of a rival. Noah followed Ivy everywhere. It was clear who he was infatuated with
[Edited for clarity] It's clear Noah had a thing for Ivy. I have gay friends like that. They see everything through the filter of Gay. Everything and everyone is either gay or secretly gay or is gay curious. It used to be annoying, but over time, it got to be funny. After a while, I just started laughing about it and moved on. What I wasn't sure about was Noah's intention in charging Ivy. Was he trying to kill her, too? Or was his intention to hurt her, then pretend to rescue her so she'd love him? What was the plan? His character was really interesting because yes, he was mentally slow and all that. But that Never means he doesn't understand love, desire, and passion. He also well understood how to fake his understanding of things to get away with the things he wanted to do. Noah was sly and sly people are dangerous people to underestimate
@@LA_HA Noah was definitely sly. He might have been the scorned one, and wanted to get "revenge" on Ivy. Noah was like a malicious child who wanted to lash out for not getting his way. It is clear Noah was more aware than most in the village. When everyone was at table eating, at the beginning of the movie, and the creature sound was heard, Noah was laughing seemingly like an idiot, but I think he knew the creatures were a hoax. Also, when we see him hiding in the closet, his fingers are in a claw shape. I think the Elders let their guard down around Noah, thinking he would not understand if he saw Elders suiting up. He clearly did. Even a preschooler could have connected those dots.
This movie is either you love it or you hate it. I haven't met many people who said it was meh. They either tell you every reason it sucks or the guys in my camp will tell you all the reasons it rocks! Thanks for the video guys!
i love this movie. saw it at the theater and thought it was so imaginative. i remember people being salty saying that there’s no way the village could’ve been kept secret, it’s too unbelievable. the rich have a way of making every damn thing happen that they want to happen. never underestimate the power of lots of money. and walker had a LOT of it.
I could not click on this fast enough! Haven't even watched your reaction yet but I'm so excited. My favorite M. Night film and probably my favorite film score of all time.
M. Night is one of the most underrated writer/directors of all time. The next one "Lady in the Water" is one I like too. He falls off with Happening but then comes back a few years later with THE VISIT and SPLIT.
In case you didn't know Who was that person sitting down with all we see in the camera facing the Font door and someone's head in the left side corner of the camera shot while we see The person in the reflection after the police guy opens The medicine cabinet is the good Filmmaker himself Mr M.Night
Most people don't notice that the newspaper he is reading is nothing but bad, bad news. Murders robberies, etc. You have to pay attention, but it is a good way to make it more understandable why they did what they did.
Say what you want about this movie. The dialogue isn't perfect. The acting can be a bit dry. But NO ONE seen that twist coming. It's very original and genuinely creepy and scary at points.
Actually this was a rare one that I figured out pretty early in the movie. The constant mention of the towns, the filthy river and all the secrets in the boxes. Made me imagine New York and the East River.
🤣🤣🤣... I was waiting for the reveal.. got ya !...lol... Poor J would never go into the woods 😁..stuck there forever...no toilet paper..no hot water... 🌿🌿🌿
Great reaction, thank you! And yes, I really love this movie, it got so much "meh" when it came out because people thought it was going to be another "Sixth Sense". It was in a way, with the twist, but as others have said, people expected more of the same as the original M Night movie. Love, love, love......xxx
I love this movie it's so well done using very little. M night is one of my fav directors, I've been waiting for someone to do a decent reaction to this
Omg one of my favorite movies! And your reactions were hilarious 💀 loved seeing the twists with ya! You gotta watch another M. Night! Please watch The Visit! 😁
thats funny you said Noah was just being silly hiding in the closet like that.. I remember when I first saw this I was extremely creeped out by his facial expression and delight in taking advantage of her blindness. also was like 13 at the time so just the thought of a fully grown, mentally unstable adult roaming around town was quite unsettling
I loved Bryce Dallas Howard in _Terminator Salvation,_ the _Jurassic World_ trilogy, and her _Twilight_ movies. I'd have never thought of that either, Jay.
This is far and away my favorite of his films. I think a lot of people have said that in here, & that is criminally underrated. I think it asks a very interesting question about society, which is, is it okay to lie to people to keep them safe. And I love that it has two twists. I love that it makes us think about things we normally wouldn't. And that for that reason I like it a lot more than the Sixth Sense and Signs. I thought there was a lot more substance to it in the long run. Glad you enjoyed it! As to something you said at one point in the film, I think I remember reading something about how when they were doing the casting and running the people in the cast through a sort of 19th century boot camp so they would know how to do some of the tasks and behave in this environment, they were talking about whether they should have a couple people of color in the village, if only because technically they weren't from the time period in question, and therefore they would probably have people of color in the grief group they were in... unless it was somehow segregated by the part of town they were in, because it was obviously the seventies or early 80s when they bailed, but then they decided not to have people of color in the cast partially because they thought it might break the illusion based on the time period it was supposed to be set in for most of the film. I go back and forth in my head about whether that was the right choice.
Now that I have seen this as an adult, it reminds me of modern-day Amish country. We just drove through it in Lancater, PA. Horse and carriages, farm raised vegetables and meats
So glad to see you enjoyed this! It gets a lot of hate, partly because of the original marketing campaign and partly because if you think too hard about the premise there are so many plotholes BUT, if you're willing to suspend disbelief for a while, it's a beautiful and unsettling story. Hands down my favourite proposal scene of any movie, ever. The soundtrack is phenomenal, the acting is marvellous and the cinematography at some points takes my breath away. [Also, you may not have realised but Ivy's mother and father are still married - hence him not indulging in an affair with Lucius' mother despite his feelings.]
It's the 1890s in the clip. Judging by their clothing, isn't that the era they're living in? Or are you talking about another tombstone in the movie but not in this reaction?
This movie has the best twist rivaled only by The Six Sense. It got unfairly maligned back during its release and all the subsequent years following. But to truly fool an audience this huge is impressive because nobody saw this one coming and it was right there the whole time. Sixth Sense twist was impressive and all-timer, but The Village had the harder task because by this time, everybody and his cat knew what an M.Night Shamalan movie was and anybody who was anyone was going in looking for the twist. To be able to fool THAT kind of crowd going in under that amount of pressure and pull the wool over everybody's eyes while pulling the same kind of trick off twice, but with a thousand times more scrutiny, woo-weee, sorry, but you are a master craftsman at this point. Hats off to M.Night and all the flowers.
This was the first MKS movie that didn't get much love. I never understood why. It hit me the same way it did you. I thought it was great. Another MKS movie people didn't like was "The Happening" (2008). That movie terrified me!!! The only MKS movie I thought was a dud was "Lady in The Water." PS - That Winne the Pooh remark made my day.
This is one of my all time faves. It's so underrated and only got a bad rep because it was marketed as a simple horror film when it was so much more than that. I sing the lullaby that Ivy sings to her sister, to my daughter every night. 💖
I love this movie!!!!! So excited to see you react to this one. This movie gets a lot of hate and I think becuase wanted this to be a scary/horror movie. I've always viewed this movie in the context of a love story and people's struggle with grief and hope.
Underrated movie! It's just fun and the acting was spot on for what it is, which is M. Night's brand of high budget schlock with one of his best twists outside of Sixth Sense.
The question of why they would want that life is essentially because people are cruel and if you can only be surrounded by trusted loved ones, you'll never feel the cruelty of the world. I was homeless for 5 years and the day I became housed I became a target of a cyberbullying group , I have severe mental health issues and my own family is part of the group trying to hurt me mentally. I know exactly how it feels to want to lock away forever with one or two people I know won't hurt me. The real problem is with people you never know, people change, usually for the worse
They got that old school underwear on too😂 I took my mom(the queen of horror films)to see this in the theater. The trailer made it look scary. I was like I'll take mom to dinner and a movie. When the twist came, she was so mad😂 I was shocked like you, but mom wanted to see some at least eaten. She is still mad about that 🙄 then I had to take her to buy horror movies at Wal-Mart to make up for it. So thanks, M. Knight. It was like the Blair Witch. I was bamboozled.
It always surprises me when I hear some people say they didn't like this movie. It was a brilliant concept, and the writing/acting was top notch. Since you like M. Night Shamalayan (sp?) movies, I really think you should check out his movie "Devil". That one gave me goosebumps, too.

First time I've seen anyone react to this one. One of my favorite M Night films. The cast and acting are both TOP NOTCH.
There are two more Village reaction on RUclips. Too few for such a great movie!
This movie disturbed me at 11
It is underrated. But I liked the soundtrack better than the film itself:)
Have been waiting for someone reacting to this gem!
You mean M Night
The scene where the monster is so still, staring at Ivy, and then BOOM! goes into a sprint after her...man, that was a killer jump scare!
God, I love the “living like Winnie the Pooh” comment

I believe this caused a ripple effect for M. Night's next few films as people were tired of being lured into his movies being one genre only to get a completely different film. This is particularly true with the very next movie he did called Lady in Water, which was a pretty good movie as well.
I'm a big fan of Lady in the Water for the perfomances. There's a bit of self-wank (though admittedly critics were panning M Night for his twists at the time), and the story is bananas, but Paul Giamatti acts his butt off and so does Bryce Howard.
Loved seeing you enjoy this :)and thank you to @EOM for the editing and all the work so we can appreciate J and the dogs :). Here til you all call it a wrap :)
Love the shirt! 😘
This movie got so much hate back in the day, but honestly we love it so much
That was a GREAT movie! I think I heard that its biggest problem was that it was advertised improperly.
Yes and No. I saw this in the theatre, because everyone (including myself), loved The Sixth Sense. People walked out disappointed in the ending, and thought the twist ending was ridiculous.
JL, if you liked this movie, you NEED to see Lady in the Water. It's another Shyamalan film with Bryce Dallas Howard and a lot of other familiar faces. You'll laugh, you'll cry, and you'll jump.
It’s actually already on patreon. Just haven’t edited it
@@EOMReacts that's great news! Guess I know what I have to do.
That is one of my favorite m night movies ever!@@marshallprince2583
I saw this movie with a friend from work who was gay. He thought Noah was a scorned lover, and stabbed Lucious out of spite as he was in love with Lucious. I viewed this through my hetero eyes, and saw Noah disposing of a rival. Noah followed Ivy everywhere. It was clear who he was infatuated with
[Edited for clarity] It's clear Noah had a thing for Ivy. I have gay friends like that. They see everything through the filter of Gay. Everything and everyone is either gay or secretly gay or is gay curious.
It used to be annoying, but over time, it got to be funny. After a while, I just started laughing about it and moved on.
What I wasn't sure about was Noah's intention in charging Ivy. Was he trying to kill her, too? Or was his intention to hurt her, then pretend to rescue her so she'd love him? What was the plan?
His character was really interesting because yes, he was mentally slow and all that. But that Never means he doesn't understand love, desire, and passion. He also well understood how to fake his understanding of things to get away with the things he wanted to do.
Noah was sly and sly people are dangerous people to underestimate
@@LA_HA Noah was definitely sly. He might have been the scorned one, and wanted to get "revenge" on Ivy. Noah was like a malicious child who wanted to lash out for not getting his way. It is clear Noah was more aware than most in the village. When everyone was at table eating, at the beginning of the movie, and the creature sound was heard, Noah was laughing seemingly like an idiot, but I think he knew the creatures were a hoax. Also, when we see him hiding in the closet, his fingers are in a claw shape. I think the Elders let their guard down around Noah, thinking he would not understand if he saw Elders suiting up. He clearly did. Even a preschooler could have connected those dots.
This is my favorite movie. I have been asking so many people to react to it and you are the first I've seen. You made my day.
This was another of those films where the twist surprised people, and before it became an overused trope that bored audiences.
This movie is either you love it or you hate it. I haven't met many people who said it was meh. They either tell you every reason it sucks or the guys in my camp will tell you all the reasons it rocks! Thanks for the video guys!
I'm not sure what mafe me laugh more, J's Winnie the Pooh comment or his list of modern things they don't have that he needs 😂
your reaction to the twist was amazing😂 you were gagged!!! love this movie so much
I think the blind girl is director Ron Howard’s daughter. She was in Jurassic Park with Chris Pratt
So glad you did this reaction! I was just as shocked as you the first time. I’ve rewatched more times than I can count 😊
'Listen: they don't have plumbing !' 😂
As always.. your reactions are amazing and hilarious. Love this movie.
i fcking LOVE this movie SOOO much. I'm so glad you did this!!! (had to post as soon as i saw the thumbnail. now i have to watch!)
i love this movie. saw it at the theater and thought it was so imaginative. i remember people being salty saying that there’s no way the village could’ve been kept secret, it’s too unbelievable. the rich have a way of making every damn thing happen that they want to happen. never underestimate the power of lots of money. and walker had a LOT of it.
Yay! I asked for this one. I think it gets over looked in M. Night Shyamalan’s catalog of films. 😊
"the only thing I know about this movie, is that it's directed by M. Knight -" *cut*
Great reaction to one of my favorites!!❤
I could not click on this fast enough! Haven't even watched your reaction yet but I'm so excited. My favorite M. Night film and probably my favorite film score of all time.
This film gets a lot of heat, but I love it. Very underrated. Great score, too!
M. Night is one of the most underrated writer/directors of all time. The next one "Lady in the Water" is one I like too. He falls off with Happening but then comes back a few years later with THE VISIT and SPLIT.
In case you didn't know Who was that person sitting down with all we see in the camera facing the Font door and someone's head in the left side corner of the camera shot while we see The person in the reflection after the police guy opens The medicine cabinet is the good Filmmaker himself Mr M.Night
Most people don't notice that the newspaper he is reading is nothing but bad, bad news. Murders robberies, etc. You have to pay attention, but it is a good way to make it more understandable why they did what they did.
Say what you want about this movie. The dialogue isn't perfect. The acting can be a bit dry. But NO ONE seen that twist coming. It's very original and genuinely creepy and scary at points.
Actually this was a rare one that I figured out pretty early in the movie. The constant mention of the towns, the filthy river and all the secrets in the boxes. Made me imagine New York and the East River.
As someone said, there were clues, but not that easy to notice. It take me by surprise either 🙂
At the end when J was listing things they didn't have, I was just waiting for it to sink in they didn't have toilet paper. 😂
Maybe they made some. It wouldn't be difficult.
Very underappreciated film. The premise is brilliant.
A few performances fail to keep you sucked in, but the twist is top flight and a great payoff.
🤣🤣🤣...
I was waiting for the reveal.. got ya !...lol...
Poor J would never go into the woods 😁..stuck there forever...no toilet paper..no hot water...
🌿🌿🌿
I somehow overlooked this film, and damn does it have a cast of top actors! Going to have to maybe buy this and watch it myself now.
I have been BEGGING reactors to do this one for YEARS! One of my faves, and the soundtrack is hauntingly gorgeous. Hilary Hahn is _gifted._
Love your humor, you made me laugh.
Great reaction, thank you! And yes, I really love this movie, it got so much "meh" when it came out because people thought it was going to be another "Sixth Sense". It was in a way, with the twist, but as others have said, people expected more of the same as the original M Night movie. Love, love, love......xxx
I love this movie it's so well done using very little. M night is one of my fav directors, I've been waiting for someone to do a decent reaction to this
After sixth sense I think this is M. Nights best!! Just my opinion, very underrated
I was so scared to watch this movie when I was younger. The twist surprised the heck out of me.
I'm amazed this wasn't spoiled for him, but I'm thankful for that.
Omg one of my favorite movies! And your reactions were hilarious 💀 loved seeing the twists with ya!
You gotta watch another M. Night! Please watch The Visit! 😁
Such an underrated film
28:30 well i mean... Rabbits, bugs, wolves, bears, coyotes, lizards...
thats funny you said Noah was just being silly hiding in the closet like that.. I remember when I first saw this I was extremely creeped out by his facial expression and delight in taking advantage of her blindness. also was like 13 at the time so just the thought of a fully grown, mentally unstable adult roaming around town was quite unsettling
I loved Bryce Dallas Howard in _Terminator Salvation,_ the _Jurassic World_ trilogy, and her _Twilight_ movies.
I'd have never thought of that either, Jay.
This is far and away my favorite of his films. I think a lot of people have said that in here, & that is criminally underrated. I think it asks a very interesting question about society, which is, is it okay to lie to people to keep them safe. And I love that it has two twists. I love that it makes us think about things we normally wouldn't. And that for that reason I like it a lot more than the Sixth Sense and Signs. I thought there was a lot more substance to it in the long run. Glad you enjoyed it! As to something you said at one point in the film, I think I remember reading something about how when they were doing the casting and running the people in the cast through a sort of 19th century boot camp so they would know how to do some of the tasks and behave in this environment, they were talking about whether they should have a couple people of color in the village, if only because technically they weren't from the time period in question, and therefore they would probably have people of color in the grief group they were in... unless it was somehow segregated by the part of town they were in, because it was obviously the seventies or early 80s when they bailed, but then they decided not to have people of color in the cast partially because they thought it might break the illusion based on the time period it was supposed to be set in for most of the film. I go back and forth in my head about whether that was the right choice.
The reveal was Great! I loved it. And when you said, "I peed a little," that was hilarious!
Imagine sitting in a darkened theater watching this 😎
My favorite of MNight’s 🙌🏻
Great reaction!
7:35 that's Mad Eye Moody
This movie was filmed right by where I live, Chadds ford PA. I saw weaver in Walmart lol.
Now that I have seen this as an adult, it reminds me of modern-day Amish country. We just drove through it in Lancater, PA.
Horse and carriages, farm raised vegetables and meats
So glad to see you enjoyed this! It gets a lot of hate, partly because of the original marketing campaign and partly because if you think too hard about the premise there are so many plotholes BUT, if you're willing to suspend disbelief for a while, it's a beautiful and unsettling story. Hands down my favourite proposal scene of any movie, ever. The soundtrack is phenomenal, the acting is marvellous and the cinematography at some points takes my breath away.
[Also, you may not have realised but Ivy's mother and father are still married - hence him not indulging in an affair with Lucius' mother despite his feelings.]
The funny thing is, they tell you at the start of the movie what year it is on the tombstone. I never caught it first time watching either.
It's the 1890s in the clip.
Judging by their clothing, isn't that the era they're living in?
Or are you talking about another tombstone in the movie but not in this reaction?
This movie has the best twist rivaled only by The Six Sense. It got unfairly maligned back during its release and all the subsequent years following. But to truly fool an audience this huge is impressive because nobody saw this one coming and it was right there the whole time. Sixth Sense twist was impressive and all-timer, but The Village had the harder task because by this time, everybody and his cat knew what an M.Night Shamalan movie was and anybody who was anyone was going in looking for the twist. To be able to fool THAT kind of crowd going in under that amount of pressure and pull the wool over everybody's eyes while pulling the same kind of trick off twice, but with a thousand times more scrutiny, woo-weee, sorry, but you are a master craftsman at this point. Hats off to M.Night and all the flowers.
This was the first MKS movie that didn't get much love. I never understood why. It hit me the same way it did you. I thought it was great. Another MKS movie people didn't like was "The Happening" (2008). That movie terrified me!!! The only MKS movie I thought was a dud was "Lady in The Water." PS - That Winne the Pooh remark made my day.
This is one of my all time faves. It's so underrated and only got a bad rep because it was marketed as a simple horror film when it was so much more than that. I sing the lullaby that Ivy sings to her sister, to my daughter every night. 💖
4:47 synced perfectly with you laughing and her crying, fantastic. Did you catch the name on the Jeep?
I love this movie!!!!! So excited to see you react to this one.
This movie gets a lot of hate and I think becuase wanted this to be a scary/horror movie. I've always viewed this movie in the context of a love story and people's struggle with grief and hope.
Underrated movie! It's just fun and the acting was spot on for what it is, which is M. Night's brand of high budget schlock with one of his best twists outside of Sixth Sense.
Not winnie the poo in the hundred acre woods 🤣🤣
Bro. One of the best twists of all time. The Murder Whistle did not disappoint om the reaction
The question of why they would want that life is essentially because people are cruel and if you can only be surrounded by trusted loved ones, you'll never feel the cruelty of the world.
I was homeless for 5 years and the day I became housed I became a target of a cyberbullying group , I have severe mental health issues and my own family is part of the group trying to hurt me mentally.
I know exactly how it feels to want to lock away forever with one or two people I know won't hurt me.
The real problem is with people you never know, people change, usually for the worse
I really enjoy this movie, I’m glad you had a good time with it. Also dope shirt lol 😉
M. Night, going from Sixth Sense to directing a movie about killer pollen.
They got that old school underwear on too😂 I took my mom(the queen of horror films)to see this in the theater. The trailer made it look scary. I was like I'll take mom to dinner and a movie. When the twist came, she was so mad😂 I was shocked like you, but mom wanted to see some at least eaten. She is still mad about that 🙄 then I had to take her to buy horror movies at Wal-Mart to make up for it. So thanks, M. Knight. It was like the Blair Witch. I was bamboozled.
The lead actress is the daughter of Ron Howard, who played Opie on The Andy Griffith Show and Richie Cunningham on Happy Days!
I will never forget seeing this when it came out. My GF at the time guessed this in like the first 5 minuets. I was so pissed. lol
Living like “Winnie the Pooh” 😂
It always surprises me when I hear some people say they didn't like this movie. It was a brilliant concept, and the writing/acting was top notch. Since you like M. Night Shamalayan (sp?) movies, I really think you should check out his movie "Devil". That one gave me goosebumps, too.
The movie is trash but alright
I wa sone of the many in yhe movie theater that did not like it, although this reaction makes me dislike it less.
You should also watch The Happening.
This is a great movie once the big reveal happens it's like and I gotta be able to shave 🪒 everywhere I like being slick and smooth!! 🤣
I am obsessed with this movie’s soundtrack
