Corrected entry: If Lucius had a abdominal wound and infection, then he needed an antibiotic. How was Ivy supposed to get antibiotics in 2004 Pennsylvania without a prescription?

The Village (2004)
Corrected entry: The main premise is (MAJOR SPOILER) **that the Elders founded the village, and propagate the ruse of the creatures in the woods to keep the other villagers from venturing into the outside world. However, there are many non-elders in the village who are old enough to have lived in the outside world long before the village was founded (circa 70's, based on the Counseling Center photo). These people would remember the world before the village, so the ruse would not work on them. Even if we are to accept that only the half dozen-or-so Elders remember the outside world, they could not have possibly procreated the entire village, which seemingly has a population of over a hundred people.
Correction: Of course there are several others in the village who know of the outside world. The stories of the horrors in the woods are not made for them, but to keep the _children_ from roaming about, and even to stop natural youthful exploration. The villagers wanted a perfect, peaceful society, so they all played along with the stories, but their descendants needed to be free of outside impulses to preserve their innocence, else they would risk that greed, hatred and violence destroyed the community (as it has ours).

Corrected entry: When Lucius is reading his plea from the paper, he starts it from the top and after a couple of sentences he has advanced to the middle of the paper already.
Correction: We don't know what he has written on the paper. It could be that he has just written some clue words to what he wants to say, or, more likely, he has scratched some text out because he was unhappy with it and then proceeded further down the page.

The Village (2004)
Corrected entry: Lucius Hunt enters the woods and encounters a creature. Nobody sees him doing it. Later on, the creatures visit the village to leave some warning signs. The next day, Lucius confesses before the villagers. If the creatures are inventions of the elders, then how could the elders know that the rule was broken so that they fake the warning visit?
Correction: They knew the rule was broken because one of them was in the creature costume and saw him do it.

Correction: From the Ranger station. As we can see in the end, the Ranger station has loads more medicines and first-aid material than necessary, and the older Ranger (Shyamalan) seems to know about the people living inside the wildlife reserve. All this hints to that the Ranger stations were set up by Mr. Walker, and equipped with modern-day supplies the villagers may need in a crisis. Apart from this, certain plants and fungi have been used since the Bronze Ages to cure infections. It is not unlikely the villagers had a supply of these.
