The Village (2004)

The population of a small, isolated countryside village believe that their alliance with the mysterious creatures that inhabit the forest around them is coming to an end.

A fascinating and debatable premise is competently staged as a Gothic tale.

Maltin *1/2: "Somer, straight-faced story...Evolves into a self-parody at some point before becomimg downright ridiculous. Impressive only as a showcase for newconer Howard (daughter of Ron)."
