A wonderful combination

Rating: 9/10 (18 July 2012)

The dialog is masterful with well-blended elements of introspection and humor. "Signs" is in no way a comedy, but there are deeply humorous images and dialog in this film that contribute much to the film without any detraction at all. Laughing out loud is more than a texting tic with "Signs."
Characters are developed quite well and so deeply that you forget the actors and become engulfed in their characters. The director and his crew create a very believable, dimensioned world. Stories and back stories entwine seamlessly.
The photography, lighting,and scoring combined into an atmospheric movie that caught my attention and never let go. The director's movies have been, for me, hit and miss, but "Signs" is definitely a hit.
