The Village Started M. Night Shyamalan’s Fall From Grace, But It’s A Much Better Horror Movie Than You Remember

But audiences and critics alike seemed disappointed with the film, noting The Village’s questionable twist ending and slower pace, deeming it the start of a creative downfall for Shyamalan.
