Worth Watching

Rating: Null/10 (11 September 2002)

I normally gauge a film whether its worth the money you pay for to watch it. This film is definitely worth watching. The most important factor in any movie is the story. In the case of "Signs", the story is told well with simplicity and craftsmanship. It is almost a classic. It forces the viewer to use his/her imagination and gives a feeling that you want take hold of the camera yourself to see beyond what is not shown. Although there are scenes which are a little dragging and the lighting is dim, this movie is a "back to the basics" of filmmaking amidst the proliferation of "in your face" Hollywood flicks which have become tiring. M. Night Shymalan has indeed redeemed himself from "Unbreakable".
