  2. Wow i knew I recognised the girl from somewhere...you have a good eye.
    I actually liked The Village, where most people more or less hated it. I didnt see the big twist at the end and i thought it was a smart movie. You?

  3. The whole village movie scared me(I repeated myself in the comment on the descent-sorry).
    I suspected that twist they were really in modern times cuz the "clues" didn't hide it for me--like the more modern piano at the wedding. --Unless the twise u mean is that it was the crazy guy who was really was at fault. I really thought that was a real creature at the end in the woods---I was PETRIFIED by those creatures!

  4. The thing that scared me in that movie was the fact the lead character was blind. It made it a hella worse for me. The fact she couldn't see the monster/crazy guy (his name is Noah..lol)right in front of her made it really scary.
    To be honest I didnt pick up on any of the clues. The only twist i kinda figured out was that the monsters were fake...but I was still shocked when it was actually revealled.
