The Village, a film directed by M. Night Shyamalan, was a type of horror genre movie, that used cleaver lighting and camera angels to keep the viewer on th edge of their seats. The film requires you to infer about a lot of the plot, making you think about what actually happened in the past, and in that scene.

I thought that the techniques and style used in The Village, were very intriguing, it kept you on the edge of your seat in suspense, while not actually being very scary. I think the take they did on the film, with the camera angels, and lighting, it made out for a very unique movie.

In the film, Shyamalan, didn’t go for blood and guts, but instead for uneasy camera angels, so viewers could only get a small taste of what was there. I think that he didn’t go for blood and guts, but camera angels because it makes the viewer feel very uneasy, and wanting to see more. It adds a very suspenseful aspect to the film. The uncertain feeling of the film keeps viewers on the edge of there seat ready to jump, hence why Shyamalan didn’t want to use much gore in the film.

The type viewers that would usually gravitate towards this film are viewers who like to be on the edge of the seat, inference about what is happenings, and like so scary horror. The film makes you inference a lot about the plot and does a great job keeping viewers in suspense, which is why horror fans would probably want to see this film.

The village is quite low on rating compared to the directors previous films, sitting at about a 4.3 out of 10. Personally, I enjoyed this film, from the panning camera angels, to the he feeling that something will jump out at any second, this film kept me wanting more. Though the story wasn’t explained fully it left you to have to fill in the missing pieces on your own, which personally, I wasn’t a big fan of. I would rate this film a 6.8 out of 10, because, personally I didn’t like inferences all the time, but the film kept me on the edge of my seat and I was left wanting more.
