以下摘錄自芝加哥太陽報影評人 Roger Ebert 對「村莊」的影評。
a movie based on a premise that cannot support it.
The movie is so somber, it's afraid to raise its voice in its own presence.
To call it an anticlimax would be an insult not only to climaxes but to
prefixes. It's a crummy secret, about one step up the ladder of narrative
originality from It Was All a Dream. It's so witless, in fact, that when
we do discover the secret, we want to rewind the film so we don't know the
secret anymore.
他對本片評價很低， 1/4 。

What is it you want, Alex ? I want to learn the truth !
Truth...the terrible thing about searching for the truth is sometime
you find it. Do you remember what Keats said about the truth ?
Beauty is truth, truth is beauty. Keep that in mind.
My original question : what is it you want ? the truth ?
or something beautiful ? Something beautiful. Beauty is truth.

以下是節錄：
The ubiquitous advertisements for ''The Village,''
which opens today nationwide, promise that ''nothing can prepare you.''
Nothing, that is, except M. Night Shyamalan's last three movies and
a passing acquaintance with ''The Twilight Zone.'' It is hard to think
of another filmmaker so utterly committed to the predictable manufacture
of narrative surprise.
...
The last thing I want to do is spoil the fun, meager though it is.
I will say, though, that while I am generally pretty obtuse about
these matters, I had an inkling early on of where ''The Village''
was going, which I then dismissed as too ridiculous to consider.
When I turned out to be right I felt less vindicated than cheated.
The film's ridiculousness would not be so irksome if Mr. Shyamalan
did not take his sleight of hand so seriously, if he did not insist
on dressing this scary, silly, moderately
clever fairy tale in a somber cloak of allegory.
I suppose it is to his credit that he wants the audience to think --
about fear, security and the fine line between rationality and
superstition -- as well as tremble, but his ideas are as sloppy and
obvious as his direction is elegant and restrained. He turns an
artful gothic tale into a homework assignment.
His impressive cast, meanwhile, bustles around as if ''The Village''
were the school play -- ''Our Town,'' maybe, or ''The Lottery.'' ...
