Sadly Over-hyped

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

Stelios Polychronakis' The Village is an excellent animated short from Greece.The animation and music were superb. Plus, the doctor is an instantly lovable character! It also felt very similar to Hayao Miyazaki's Spirited Away, but with a Greek twist. I wonder if Stelios Polychronakis is influenced by Hayao Miyazaki?The only problem I have with this short film is that it does not have a lot of attention, which could help both Stelios Polychronakis and the animation industry in Greece, which is such a shame.Overall, The Village is a must watch short film for everyone.
