“Signs” Movie Review

“Signs” Plot Summary

A family living on a farm finds mysterious crop circles in their fields which suggests something more frightening to come.

Great thriller!

The newest film in the legacy of M. Night Shyamalan, SIGNS manages to pull off some very effective creepiness in the very beginning and also holds your interesting throughout the course of the film. Mel Gibson is great, aswell as Joaquin Phoenix. The film was very creepy and contains steadily mounting terror. Vaguely similar to Mark Pellington’s THE MOTHMAN PROPHECIES, the film keeps you on the edge of your seat until the very end.

The film is scary and in some cases, disturbing. The aliens are very well designed. The film actually surprised me. I was not expecting Shyamalan to stick with the story so very closely throughout the entire film almost. With his earlier works, THE SIXTH SENSE and UNBREAKABLE, he focuses on the relationships between family members very closely to create a lot of drama that has a payoff. But, most of this film is taken up by fast-moving situations that involve alien activity and crop circles. My only complaint, and I mean ‘only’, is that the film tries way too hard to be funny. It tries much harder than Shyamalan’s earlier works and is the type of humor that is not ‘laugh-out-loud’, but it is funny because you were not expecting it in a sci-fi suspense thriller. The sequences of the film that are scary, ARE scary. They could have been a little more effectively done, but otherwise, they were very well-crafted. SIGNS is a great movie that will live in movie history forever in both the genres of thriller and sci-fi. SIGNS gets 5/5.

    Excellence in Filmmaking

    This movie had me laughing; crying; smiling; staring; anticipating; everything. When I viewed the voter history for this movie, I couldn’t believe the rating it had received after 13,400 registered users had voted. This movie was excellent from the direction to the production sets. The acting was superb by all but could not and would not have been as great if it had not been for the vision of the director. I gave this movie a ten because it deserves it everywhere. The scenes, the sequences, the editing were all great. Though I’m not involved in the movie industry yet, I try to observe details in a production that make a good, bad, or great movie. In this case everything fell into place. The music for certain scenes was perfect. The characters were extremely believable. Everyone in the lead and supporting roles deserve an award of some type. I’m a 49 year old male with two grown kids and two grandchildren but I’m not ashamed to say I was filled with emotion as I watched this film. I believe a film should consume the viewer- to me that’s great filmmaking. If I can leave my seat or carry on a conversation while watching a film, it’s not great- it might be good, but not great. Jerry Maguire had my undivided attention. Kudos to everyone involved in the production of this movie. I waited four years to see this movie which I finally purchased on VHS cassette two or three months ago. It was a worthy investment and I will soon purchase it on DVD. Excellent, excellent, excellent!!!
