I also completely agree with you on James Newton Howard's score. howard seems to do his best work for Shyamalan, ironically enough. For THE VILLAGE, he wrote one of his finest.<BR/> Your review is pretty much in agreement with the vast majority of the critics, and I lament this director's inability to overcome his considerable issues, which include wooden dialogue, incohesiveness and bad acting. Still there were enough jolts and shocks within the framework of this "horror" film that made it passable for me. Still "passable" isn't good enough, especially for a director who in the minds of many is fading into oblivion.<BR/> By the way, excellent review!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
