This is what a movie should be: scary, suspensful, mysterious, and wonderful!

Rating: 10/10 (16 September 2002)

In 1999, 2 films were written by a little known director who made 2 films before: "Praying With Anger" (1992) and "Wide Awake" (1998). The director's name: M. Night Shyamalan. The 2 1999 films: Co-writing "Stuart Little" and "The Sixth Sense," which he also directed. With "The Sixth Sense" becoming an international hit (becoming the #1 thriller of all time, getting positive reviews, nominated for 6 oscars-BEST PICTURE, BEST DIRECTOR, BEST SCREENPLAY, BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR, BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS, and BEST FILM EDITING, and grossing almost $300 million), Shyamalan is at the top of his game. Now, it's 2000 and with "The Grinch" becoming the #1 B.O. hit of 2000 (grossing over $260 million), Shyamalan decided to switch from dead people to superheroes/comic books with "Unbreakable." During it's release, the film got mixed reviews and grossed almost $100 million. Now, it's 2002, and "Spider-Man" is the #1 B.O. hit (grossing over $400 million), Shyamalan again switched from dead people to superheroes/comic books to crop signs/aliens and decided to use Mel Gibson instead of Bruce Willis as the main character. The new movie is called "Signs," and it's getting alot of positive buzz. Well, after being bugged by my friends every day since the first day of school, I finally saw the movie on a Saturday. AND IT WAS THE SCARIEST MOVIE I HAVE EVER SEEN!!! Scarier than "The Sixth Sense" (which I loved) and scarier than both "The Blair Witch Project" and "The Exorcist" (which they both sucked). M. Night Shyamalan has done it again. For those of you who enjoy thrillers, then "Signs" is your movie. Plus, I'll be waiting for Shyamalan's next movie. I like to see what he does next.
