Horror of the best quality

Rating: 10/10 (23 January 2003)

Signs is the greatest horror movie made in the last twenty years. M Night Shyamalan has constructed a film which uses the camera angles as its main tool into scaring the audience. The best example of this is the scene in which Graham Hess (Mel Gibson) is woken by his daughter and told that there's a monster on her roof, oh, and can she get a glass of water? Hess rises out his bed and in the background of the shot the camera shows the barn roof in darkness, then there is a flash of lightning and you make out the shape of the Alien on the roof. The best moment of the film is the news report on the T.V, where a man has recorded the Alien walking casualy past his window and when his children scream it could just as easily be you. The film is going to be a classic and I would recommend it to anyone who is good with D.I.Y and does not mind boarding up their windows before they go to sleep, cause its a lot of work I can tell you.
