And here's what I said about it, on one of the many other threads about this film/score...

There have been quite a number of threads about this film in the past, so I will just pretty much cut and paste what I said in an earlier thread, which still holds up today...
When I first saw The Village in a cinema, I was disappointed with it (although I must say the acting, lensing, design and music are all first-rate).
However, I found myself thinking about the film days and weeks later (how often does that happen with films these days?)
By the time the DVD was released I couldn't wait to revisit the film and I have grown to appreciate it a whole lot more and still do.
It's a real slow-burner and is a brave attempt to try something different (even if the twist is a bit lame - I think once you get over it the film stands up as a fine piece of filmmaking) and JNH is always on hand to elevate the proceedings ten fold.
By the way The Main Title/Burial Scene and the score under the song Bryce Howard sings to her upset sister are absolutely terrific but not on the CD, which is not good.
You do it, Kev, I'm with ya Babe! They can POLICE THIS:

Interesting... I saw the movie years ago (I'm one of those who actually liked the movie), and I absolutely love the score on CD. However, I always felt that the original soundtrack CD was somehow lacking... the music itself was astonishingly good, one of Howard's best scores ever, but the album flow was questionable, the ending of the album was unsatisfying and anti-climatic.
I don't know how much music is missing or what an ideal order of the album should be, but what we do have, it is not. :-)

Thor is right for Thor and wrong for Kev; neither p.o.v. is objectively correct. Let's be happy with our different perspectives.
And based on the interest generated, Zardoz did just right by reopening this thread.

I should have put a smiley face on my post, cause I figured that was the case, Kev. There's just so much vitriol tossed at Thor for having, even reveling, in contrary opinions, I wanted to send up a flare.

I'm looking at this another way: why do we have to go the Thread Police route? How about we had a thread bumped from almost ten years ago, with a new post that added NO new content but rather a back tray card scan, on a board whoose owner not half a year ago said large images and the overuse we part of what was slowing the board down?

One of my favorite JNH scores ever. I would be all over a complete release of this.
