 Tagline: Run. The truce is ending.
At first glance this late nineteenth century village seems picture perfect. Villagers live harmoniously in an idyllic setting. However, this close-knit community lives with the frightening knowledge that a race of creatures resides in the woods around them.
The innocence of “The Village” is threatened by the creatures referred to by the townspeople as “Those We Don’t Speak Of.” The villagers share the fear of the evil and foreboding force that lurks outside. So frightening that one dare not venture beyond “The Village” and into the woods.
Despite the advice of his elders, a curious and determined Lucius Hunt (Joaquin Phoenix) has a burning desire to step beyond the boundaries of the town into the unknown. Town leader, Edward Walker (William Hurt) warns Lucius of the danger amongst the town’s outskirts, and Lucius’ mother, Alice Hunt (Sigourney Weaver) advises him to stay at home and spare himself of the greed and desires that exist in the outside world.
Lucius’ strength is matched only by Ivy Walker, a beautiful and mesmerizing young blind woman with an unusual wisdom beyond her years. Her fearless nature and gift-like perception are beyond anything Lucius has ever known.
