*FAIL*
Wide-eyed disbelief sucks in an agent.
And the Village sucks.

I tried watching the original a few years back, but the acting and shooting style was so dated, I gave up.

The new version is actually more engrossing, because it uses more familiar acting styles and production values.

Okay, I'm likely easily trumped on this score.

Dated shooting style: yeah, it's really impressive having two second edits throughout, regardless of the scene. Because it's of paramount importance to assume the entire audience is ADD afflicted, or at least it's important for some reason to make them feel that way.

The story is tame, in that it doesn't dare to take a shot at anything controversial, nor does it appear to be willing to take on anything of a political nature.

Unlike some others who have chimed in on this thread, I do like the Village. Cool A-frame dwellings in an appropriately desolate environment where it's obvious it's never going to snow work for me. Kind of sets up a melding of seemingly senseless over-engineering within an ambiguous psychological environment.
