From NetFlix:

M. Night Shyamalan assembles an all-star cast — including Bryce Dallas Howard, Joaquin Phoenix, Sigourney Weaver and William Hurt — in this chilling tale about an isolated village whose residents face the constant threat of evil creatures. The villagers’ lives are changed forever when one of them decides to venture beyond the town borders to see what’s lurking in the surrounding woods and makes an unexpected discovery.

Not for everyone, this unusual film features a 19th century village in which the characters speak very slowly and deliberately, almost as if they were on stage rather than in a film. Leave it to Joaquin Phoenix to appear in a strange production.

Almost from the beginning I guessed what was going on and you probably will also. Adrian Brody plays a retarded man who needs a haircut badly. There are some surprises. I stuck around to see just how everything resolved, but it takes a bit of fortitude.

Could this happen ? You are warned.
