Skinopsis

Very creepy story about the inhabitants of a 19th-century village who live in fear of creatures in the woods. Needing medicine, a girl ventures out, leading to chills and another M. Night Shyamalan twist. DVD includes deleted scenes; available separately is the hoax documentary The Buried Secret of M. Night Shyamalan.

Review

Stodgy but eerily atmospheric tale of isolated Puritanical settlers who live in constant fear of mysterious creatures prowling the surrounding woods, and the daring journey of the one brave inhabitant, a blind girl (Howard, who's downright luminscent in her first role), who ventures outside the sanctuary of their village and into...the unknown. Part commune/cult film, part teen romance and part monster movie, it's a challenge to describe the plot in enough detail without spoiling Shyamalan's big secret twist, but suffice it to say underwhelmed audiences felt duly bamboozled at having been baited by the promise of a devious, Sixth Sense-scale shock and rewarded instead with a great big "so-what" revelation — one that sharp-eyed viewers will rightly clock as a blatant, inexcusable cheat. Who can tell how much longer the enduring mystique of The Sixth Sense will allow Shyamalan to keep cranking out sensationalistic supernatural thrillers like this one for the Disney company, but one thing's for certain: savvy moviegoers won't get duped again.
