[QUOTE="Cthulhudrew, post: 1685919, member: 4090"] I said the exact same thing to my friends when we left the theatre. Ugh. Again, going to have to agree with you on this one. [spoiler] Even the camera movements seemed "Blair Witchy". Just wasn't that impressed at all, sadly. And not just because I'd figured out the "plot twist" months ago, when the news of the picture first started to come to light. (Not trying to brag, because it really wasn't all that intuitive of me, necessarily- just the name of the movie, "The Village"- shades of "The Prisoner", as well as the early advertising screamed "big conspiracy by the elders to shelter us from the outside modern world" to me. Also had the elements of the Morlocks/Eloi thing. And there was a tv show that was similar- I want to say it was an episode of "The Outer Limits", where the people are survivors of an alien attack and oppressed inside of a town, and they finally rise up and open the doors, only to see that the outside world is lush and beautiful and has recovered from the war and the aliens are gone. Does anyone else remember the show I'm talking about? I did think the Elders were going to be more actively malicious in their oppressiveness than they turned out, though.
