Why all the hate? This is brilliant!

Rating: 10/10 (23 June 2008)

I have not seen Unbreakable yet but after the Sixth Sense and Signs I have to say that M. Night might possibly be the new Hitchcock for thrillers. This film is brilliant and one of my favorite Gibson movies. It's very different from most thrillers. It's not all blood and gore and violence, so maybe that's why some people hate it? I still can't imagine why so many love movies like Saw but hates Signs. Signs is slow paced, yes, but that is what makes is different from the other thrillers. It doesn't show you the aliens right away. It leaves you guessing on what's happening other places, something that Cloeverfield tried to do recently with the monster in the city-but I think kind of failed. M. Nigh succeeds, though, in setting a spooky theme and the ending is great. The acting is superb and the writing is fantastic but the directing is what makes this film special. With any other director, other than Spielberg, this film might have been ruined the visual masterpiece. Seriously people, watch it again if you've already seen it, and try and see it in a new light. This is a brilliant Hollywood thriller. One that they don't make very often and one that is to be treasured.
