It's both thrilling and terrifying.

e: Even though he didn't direct it, Devil was really fantastic, despite ripping off a Japanese film called Hellevator (and, in a meta-twist, the ending of Hellevator is the same as the ending of The Village, soooo... maybe M. Night thought nobody would notice ripping off the same film twice?)

How does that work? The twist in The Village is that the film takes place in present day. I assume in a movie that takes place in an elevator, taking place in present day would not be a twist.

The film allegedly takes place in a dystopian future where everyone lives underground on floors connected by a massive elevator system. At the very very end, the girl main character reaches the top of the elevator, climbs out a hatch, and it was modern day Tokyo all along!

I kind of want to see it now.

If this movie does have a problem it's how it handles BOTH issues, not just one or the other.

That's the big debate over the movie right now. Does the ending justify the inaccurate depiction of DID?

It takes place in a superhero universe where superpowers exist. So having a character with super-skin who can climb on walls is no weirder than Spider-Man having spider powers.
