That's not what I heard!

I heard the twist at the end was that it was earth all along!

If you like the style of Signs, you'll probably enjoy The Village. I did.

re:

HUGE dissappointment of a movie stemming from a premise that was so heavily promoted and marketted, from the movie slogan to the trailers to the website itself, being nothing more than a facade.

"The Truce is Ending"
"1. Don't go into the Woods."
"2. Don't let the bad color be seen. It attracts them."

Blah blah blah..they made it out to be a totally different movie and alot of people are rightly pissed..the worst part is how COOL it is in the beginning until they blow the premise they promoted.

Go see it if you like movies that fall apart and lose all potential coolness after the first half.

M.Night is a good director but a terrible screenwriter.

I loved the twist Thought it made it much more of an interesting movie and less of a reminder of a cheezy monster movie.

But no, if you just want to see blood and gore, this movie isn't for you.

I loved it. But then I guessed the twist a month ago when I saw the trailer and send myself a sealed letter so I could prove that to my disbelieving friends. I know of several people who also guessed it correctly as well.

If you look at the type of movies M. Night has made so far the twist shouldn't have come as a big surprise, I mean people were pissed at Unbreakable for not being a 'real' super hero movie - and for being slow. They were pissed at Signs for not being a 'real' alien movie - and for being slow. Yet so many of them seem to expect that he's now made a 'real' horror movie that'll be fast paced? Um, is learning from past exierences somehow a dying trait? He doesn't do genre movies, he does people movies that in the end are about the people. They just sometimes happen to also involve the supernatural, the alien, and so on but in the end they're always the McGuffin, never the real focus of the story. I'm continually amazed at listening to how many people fail to grasp that every time I exit a movie theater after seeing one of his movies.

I was disappointed, but not in the twist. I guessed one part of it fairly early. It just took TOO long to move. For example...the whole thing with Ivy's sister (forget her name...Giddy or Piddy?). I suppose he was giving us insights into Ivy's character, but the sister, and the brief blurbs we had on her, weren't necessary to the plot. Weren't even interesting, as far as I was concerned. That character could have been written out and never missed.

The concept itself I loved.
