Did anyone watch this movie with no trailer and no Shyamalan knowledge?

I did. And I love it. The marketing never ruined it for me, and I didn't know anything about M Night except that he made Sixth Sense and Signs (which I didn't know anything about, also) and so I didn't expect a twist and wasn't looking for one.

Did anyone else have this experience and love it like I do, since you went into it free of any preconceived notions? I showed it to a couple of my friends in the same bubble as me and they also loved it. I was so shocked to hear how many people hate it before understanding the reason, and I think that's so sad since it's a beautiful film.

Yes. I deliberately hide from trailers and spoilers. I love the mood of the film and the sound track. I have had so much more fun and enjoyment from series and movies since I stopped trying to guess ahead or analyze the movie before it's over.

Here is not here

I saw this film with no prior knowledge of it. I'm so glad I did.

Just about every negative thing I've heard or read about The Village was from people who knew about the twist ahead of time.
