FILM OF THE DAY


'THE VILLAGE'

Comedy remake of M Night Shyamalan's 2004 chiller.

Residents of a Worcestershire village have turned their backs on the 21st century - "We demand all the benefits and none of the responsibilities!" - and have brainwashed their children into believing in monsters which lurk just outside the village, making terrible noises, chopping the heads off sheep and sending people round the twist.

Their deception is revealed when a youngster has to go out of the village to fetch a bucket of electricity because the villagers can't get any. The monsters turn out to have been the villagers themselves. One spineless parent confesses: "I didn't mean to terrify my children - some bigger boys made me do it!"

Not suitable for those of a gullible disposition.
