About this movie

Filmmaker M. Night Shyamalan assembles an all-star cast, including Joaquin Phoenix and Sigourney Weaver, Adrien Brody, William Hurt and Bryce Dallas Howard, to bring the thrilling tale of an isolated village confronting the astonishing truth that lies just outside its borders. At first glance, this village seems picture perfect, but this close-knit community lives with the frightening knowledge that creatures reside in the surrounding woods. The evil and foreboding force is so unnerving that none dare venture beyond the borders of the village and into the woods. But when curious, headstrong Lucious Hunt plans to step beyond the boundaries of the town and into the unknown, his bold move threatens to forever change the future of the village.

Ratings and reviews

An odd but none the less entertaining film with a cunningly crafted twist and conclusion.It feels as though you're being let in on something very real.Great measures can be gone to,in an effort to retain innocence.

Really liked it its sooooo good and has a great twist! Worth watching but leaves you a tiny bit shaken.

I love this movie and the director. When I watched with my brother and sister, they both liked it, but one of them didn't like how the villain had learning disabilities. Its still a great film with a great soundtrack, especially the music in the end credits
