The Village

How could 33% of viewers give 10 to this?!! Maybe it's the entire film crew and their families who did... Because nobody in their right mind would give 10 to this. It was awful.

I was really enthusiastic at the idea of watching an Indian horror series, and the first episode was somewhat promising, but I became VERY disillusioned quite fast.

There are so many, and I mean SO MANY discrepancies in this series... Bad guys behavior that changed drastically (!!) when confronting random onlookers or "the heroes". Bad guys who behaved like in a very bad sci fi movie from the 70s: grunting and moving suuuuper slowly (and I really mean it!), for what seemed like an eteeeernity. It was awful. Nothing makes sense. Like absolutely nothing, even according to the script. So many scenes that don't make sense, that just "serve the script" because otherwise the director would be embarrassed and not know how to continue the series. I don't want to spoil, but really it happens way too often. Almost all the time, actually.

Like, even whole characters disappeared from the screen for no reason from one sequence to another, just like "ok from now on we won't be using them because I was lazy with the script, so let's pretend they never existed in the first place ok?". Seriously?! It feels like the script was written while the filming took place. It really does.

The bad guys are poorly done, it feels like papier-mâché from several decades ago. Maybe they did not have the budget, but why insisting on the bad guy's face for so long with the camera? Use suggestion instead, like in the first episode!

The heroes are also super stupid, like you want to smash your TV several times.

Summary: it's a VERY bad TV series, with poor make up, poor script, poor acting (mostly, especially the main hero), and the further it goes, the worse it becomes. The final episode is completely and utterly stupid.

I was really disappointed with this web series. The story itself was just uninspired. It was a rehash of old clichés, and there was nothing new or unique about it. The writing was full of clichés and tired tropes. The dialogue was uninspired. The pacing was slow and uneven. There were long stretches where nothing happened, followed by sudden bursts of action that felt out of place.

The acting was one of the biggest problems with the show. The main characters were all wooden and unconvincing. Their delivery was flat, and their expressions were blank. It was hard to believe in their characters or care about what happened to them

Overall, I would not recommend Web Series The Village to anyone.

Pretty disgusting, illogical & often irritating series.

In short - A "Wrong turn" wannabe that was poorly written & directed.

While watching you'll realize that the thrill factor slowly goes below the bar & as we watch further it gets more & more disgusting and annoying, and forces us to stop watching at some point.

The dialogues, the screenplay, the narratives & the intrigue factor, nothing fascinates us in any manner.

The story feels like it was written by a 5 year old. The visuals which are expected to give us thrills turned out to be extremely awful.

We're in 2023, but unfortunately the director seems to be stuck in 1970s.

The concept is good but the taking was at its worst. The performance of the actors was purely intended for the early Doordarshan serials.

It was a slow drag serial with disgusting makeup.

We have come a long way. From free Doordarshan serials of the 80s to the 50Rs Dish serials of the 90s, from the 125 Rupees DTH for all Television sets in the same household to the 400Rupees per Tv DTH.

From the 100rupees per ott to the present 700 per OTT subscriptions.

All this development for what, to watch the same old drag serials at 100 times the price.

Got irritated with the last couple of episodes.

A poor vision of the makers that disgusting means horror. I believe they got greatly inspired by Hills have eyes and tried copying it in a very poor attempt. What a wastage of time! Highly poor script, wasted screenplay, and poor direction. Infected characters could have been like resident evil category instead of being way too disgusting with boils all over the body. People love horror for its plot and storyline. Nobody likes watching filthy disgusting stuff like this. Please Amazon, have a good taste of horror genre. Perhaps leran it from other OTT platforms who have done it right. This one was pathetic to its best.
