Description:
From M. Night Shyamalan, the writer/director of THE SIXTH SENSE and UNBREAKABLE, comes the story of the Hess family in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, who wake up one morning to find a 500-foot crop circle in their backyard. Graham Hess (Mel Gibson) and his family are told extraterrestrials are responsible for the sign in their field. They watch, with growing dread, the news of crop circles being found all over the world. SIGNS is the emotional story of one family on one farm as they encounter the terrifying last moments of life as the world is being invaded. 'It's easy for a filmmaker to blow up the world -- but what Shyamalan does is much riskier. He tries to blow our minds. I was engaged by every inch of SIGNS.' - Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper.
Amazon.com:
This B movie with noble aspirations is the work of a gifted filmmaker whose storytelling falls short of his considerable stylistic flair. While addressing crises of faith in the framework of an alien-invasion thriller, M. Night Shyamalan (in his follow-up to The Sixth Sense and Unbreakable) favors atmospheric tension over explanatory plotting. He injects subtle humor into expertly spooky scenes, but the story suffers from too many lapses in logic. The film's faults are greatly compensated by the performance of Mel Gibson as a widower whose own crisis of faith coincides with the appearance of mysterious crop circles in his Pennsylvania cornfield... and hundreds of UFOs around the globe. With his brother (Joaquin Phoenix) and two young children (Rory Culkin, Abigail Breslin), the lapsed minister perceives this phenomenal occurrence as a series of signs and portents, while Shyamalan pursues a spookfest with War of the Worlds overtones. It's effective to a point, but vaguely hollow at its core. --Jeff Shannon

Rating:  - Are you kidding me with 3.5 stars avg. with this movie?
This movie was one of the worst.The Happening from the same director/writer WAS the worst!
Rating:  - "There's a monster outside my room. Can I have a glass of water?"
Back when M. Night Shamalamadingdong was still thought of as a Hollywood wunderkind, SIGNS, following The Sixth Sense (Collector's Edition Series) and Unbreakable (Two-Disc Vista Series), merely reaffirmed the man's cinematic creds. Donning our Hindsight-Is-20/20 Goggles, we note that The Village (Widescreen Vista Series) came along afterwards and began to elicit them doubts, them doubts. But, for now, we're focusing on SIGNS, a pretty terrific psychological thriller.

While those who are new to Mr. Shyamalans' directing style may have been somewhat turned off by his recent release (The Happening) those who refuse to see this film do themselves a great disservice.The plot reolves around one Pennsylvanian family recovering from a recent tragedy who now watch with the world as the earth prepares for an alien invasion.In all my years of watching films I have never seen a movie deliver in every aspect such as this.Mel Gibson and Joaquin Phoenix deliver some of the ...

Rating: - The best movie of 2002
`Signs' is a movie that is so multi-faceted that it is near impossible to sum it up in a single review. The movie is terrifying, hilarious, inspirational, moving, thrilling, and very rewarding. Director M. Night Shymalan (`The Sixth Sense') goes against the grain of modern horror movies and emphasizes character over action and suspense over violence. The result is a chilling and effective sci-fi thriller that may just be the finest movie of the year.Graham Hess (Mel Gibson) doesn't like to be called ... Read More
Rating: - This director's best work to date
Signs is by far the most likeable, and worthwhile alien film ever made. It had more of a plot than any other movie with Aliens in it has. It sure dominates "It came from the sky", and beats "The day the earth stood still", but I have to admit, both of those were pretty good for their times. This one sort of left the aliens in the shadows until it really needed to bring them out, and reveal their true nature. Then again, that's the purpose behind M. Night Shyamalan's genius.
