M. Night Shyamalan (SIGNS; UNBREAKABLE; THE SIXTH SENSE); the director who brought you the world's greatest thrillers on DVD; now creates his most thought-provoking triumph yet ... breaking international records and dazzling audiences around the globe! THE VILLAGE is a smart; edge-of-your-seat chiller crawling with terrifying surprises and frightening twists and turns.
