Fantastic!

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

For those expecting a horror film, this is strictly G-Rated, Nancy Drew stuff with an ending that leaves lots of loose ends. Safe for the kids, though -- absolutely no language, violence, sex, nudity. But playing this for the kids will be worse for them than a time-out. Again, beware of films with an N/A -- that means it was never submitted to the MPAA, which means it went straight to video. Absolute garbage and it's super-low IMDb ranking is well-deserved. Trust me, any good reviews this crud receives was written by someone from the cast, production crew or adoring relatives. Points to anyone who can figure out the plot, which appears to have been made up as the filmmakers went along. You have been warned!

This is definitely not the worst movie I have seen in recent years. Thrillers are always slow paced and you get the answers at the end. I haven't seen many that weren't like that. They can be confusing and annoying to people who prefer action movies or straight horror. This was not a horror movie. All the horror was in the mind of the female protagonist. About half way through I started to piece together the call the male lead made at the beginning. I thought the music was fine and helped to give the idea of suspense so that you wouldn't figure out she was imagining almost everything. I doubt she was calling anyone on the phone, perhaps her doctor or boyfriend. If they explained that I didn't catch it. She was poisoned which I figured out early on and having delusions. The locals were trying to coax her to go back with her boyfriend who she had rejected in favor of her delusions, but they couldn't get near enough to talk to her. She became very paranoid. Ergot poisoning was debilitating and often ended in death. It wasn't like a normal break with reality it was a very physical manifestation elicited by the poisoning. The actors plying the two main characters were not newbies and especially the boyfriend. I saw no problem with the acting. Some of the shots made the movie a little confusing but otherwise it was straight forward and people should have caught on when Paul and his friend kept showing up out of nowhere. I feel this one has gotten a bad wrap but if you don't like mysterious slow paced thrillers by all means, don't watch this movie. I personally like them and to see how they spin in the end. The author obviously had knowledge of the ergot poisoning theories in regard to witchcraft trials, especially the one at Salem Village. I personally intend on watching it a second time to see if I pick up details I missed. No I don't know the actors, the studio or writer.

The Secret Village will go down on my list of the worst movies I have ever watched. What an utter waste of time. It makes absolutely no sense, is not in the least scary, has horrible acting, horrible directing, horrible soundtrack and is absolute crap. Don't believe any of the good reviews, they were obviously written by retards. I can't believe I wasted 90 minutes of my life (which I will never get back) on this shite. I wish I had ergot poisoning after watching this wretch. I don't understand why people waste so much money and time making movies that are this bad. I wish I had read reviews of this before I watched it.

I got my pre-ordered copy from Amazon. I will say Swamy It's a damn good different way to tell a mystery story. Some people may not get the context of the movie in the half way, they need to wait till the end. Very strong screenplay written by Swamy and Jason. The background music is suitable for the mystery scenes. The animation to create few mild spooky horror effects are perfect, without making it too ugly. I loved it, liked it. And pretty sure lot of people will like it.Last but not the list, I appreciated viewers when they loved Paranorma Activity, And this movie the Secret village has much more to tell to the viewers.Good Job Swamy Kandan and Jason. This is the beginning. I hope more will come from you in the near future.
