The casting was good, and I liked the story line. I just didn't get the whole town thing, until later in the movie. When I first started watching it, I thought it was a movie about a town from the 1800's, or some religious community or something. When watching this movie you don't want to miss anything, that might be why it was hard to follow. The residents of the community believe that the woods around their village are filled with strange creatures. These creatures allow the community people to peacefully co-exist, raise their families, and take care of their small farms and animals without the help of the outside world. If any of the people are to cross a boundary that circles the town for miles, the creatures would then go after them and get them. Although it was rumor, the people believed in it. It's not long before one does make that mistake, and crosses. The creatures then start doing things to the residents' homes, animals' etc. After one of their own hurts one of the people of the town, they must make the choice to get medicines from the outside or not. A brave blind girl makes that feat. Her father tells her she can go, without an ok from the council. Her father, who is also the community leader, tells her that things are not as she knows them to be. He tells her of the creatures, the outside, and so on. When she leaves town with the aid of two other men, the men get scared and go back to the town, while she hikes through the woods all by herself while being followed by the creatures. But she gets past, and enters into the real world. This is where you find out that it's really current days, the 2000's. And she has been living like a she was in the early settler days. I would let you all know what happens at the end, but that would be giving it away L*
I watched the movie a few times. I do that just to make sure I don't miss anything. I would give this movie a 4 star out of 5. It's ok in my book. Get a jug of your favorite drinks, and a special someone, popcorn and no lights. This a scary movie - enjoy.
Until next time.
