The Signs Of Shyamalan

Rating: 8/10 (21 July 2002)

I was surprised with this movie, I did not have any expectations in particular -Actually I didn't have much of a clue about the plot, I only new the cast, when I decided to see it. Perhaps that's why it was such a positive surprise to me....No hype to get my hopes up.
Anyway, though I've seen better acting, the nicely paced suspense draw me into the horror of the movie and made me feel the Hess family's fear; I could place myself in their shoes.
The plot is little thin and remarkably close to "War of the Worlds". But somehow it works, although it doesn't seem as original as Shyamalan's other manuscripts.
Though it's not the greatest film I've ever seen, it's way above the mainstream Hollywood films -and one of the best of it's genre, I've seen in a long time.
I gave this film an 8, which, by my definition, is pretty high.
Go see this one -I enjoyed it.
