==Ratings==
===[http://www.mpaa.org/film-ratings/ MPAA Ratings]===

* Rated: PG-13 (mild Violence with fairly gentle scares; it could otherwise pass for a PG)

===Tentacle Ratings===
A rough [[Tentacle Ratings|measure]] of how "Lovecraftian" the work is:
* S____ (One Tentacle: Debateably Lovecraftian; has almost no direct connection to Lovecraft's work)

Not exactly a "Lovecraftian" film in the sense of being based on any of Lovecraft's work or containing references to his creations, though some viewers may find the location and atmosphere suggestive of Lovecraft's work (an "Eldritch Location" film). The concept of Those We Do Not Speak Of, a monstrous race of people living in the forest outside of the village, is somewhat Lovecraftian in nature, in spite of the film's execution of the idea via plot-twist.

''Note: This rating is not intended as a measure of quality, merely of how closely related to Lovecraftian "Weird" fiction the work is.''

Review Links:
* Chris Evangelista at CutPrintFilm, ([http://www.cutprintfilm.com/features/movies-everyone-else-hates-the-village/ link]) - "Right up until the movie was released, every singe bit of press was designed to make you think this was going to be a big, scary movie [, but] that’s not at all what this movie is.... The Village is actually a quiet, sad, at times even beautiful film.... These three twists, coupled with the marketing, more or less damned the film...."

==Synopsis==

{{spoiler|
Members of a remote pioneer community are threatened by the strange creatures that inhabit the surrounding forest. In the film's two infamous plot twists, the monsters are revealed to be Villagers in costume, and the village itself is revealed to be a secret modern-day colony of people who have isolated themselves from the violence of modern society.

===Associated Mythos Elements===
* Race: Those We Do Not Speak Of
* Setting: [[Weird West]]

===Keeper Notes===

* Feel let down by the twist endings, because you hoped there would be monsters? You didn't like the movie, and you're sure you can do better? A "home brew" Call of Cthulhu scenario might be your opportunity!
