This week, we're talking M. Night Shyamalan's The Village (2004). This star-studded film is visually beautiful with a haunting score, but still manages to fizzle. With solid performances from Joaquin Phoenix, Bryce Dallas Howard, William Hurt, Adrien Brody, and Sigourney Weaver, this film should have been a hit. 

 

The problem is that twist ending. It's just... anti-climactic.
