"This is a great 2 pack if you like Night and Phoenix. It's got all the extras on the DVD too. It's a good value for the money, and compact, I have one case instead of two. I just wish they were both widescreen."
M. Night Shyamalan is the master of surprise

"2-Movie Collection DVD: Signs/The Village
SIGNS: I love M. Night Shyamalan movies for the simple reason that he always leads the viewer on an adventure and you never know which way he will take you. I've seen Signs about seven times and never get tired of it, so I had to buy the DVD. It's a mystery; suspenseful; a thriller, and funny in parts, thanks to Joaquin Phoenix who plays Mel Gibson's younger brother. Mel Gibson is a reverend who has lost his faith due to the death of his wife. When mysterious crop circles show up in his corn field, his disbelief soon turns into fear for his family. I get goose bumps every time I watch this. M. Night Shyamalan makes an appearance as the local vet. Don't want to spoil anything, so I won't say anymore except buy this DVD!
THE VILLAGE: This is another M. Night Shyamalan movie that I've seen several times. A tight knit community lives in fear of what's in the forest just outside of their village. It's so evil that no one will venture into the woods and the villagers post sentries in towers at night to make sure all is safe. The elders are very secretive about what this evil thing is. Joaquin Phoenix and Bryce Dallas Howard (Ron Howard's daughter) play a young couple in love. Bryce's character is blind. When Joaquin's character is injured, she must save him by venturing into the woods and going to the nearest town for medical supplies. She alone has the courage to face what's in the forest. A spine tingler and surprise ending of a movie! William Hurt, Sigourney Weaver, Brendan Gleeson and Adrian Brody are also in it."
