I've never shivered at a movie before unless it was just cold...

Rating: 10/10 (2 September 2002)

Signs is one of the spookiest, most frightening movies I have ever seen. Up untill now I thought The Thing and Alien would hold my scariest viewing but oh no, Signs goes well beyond the use of models, suits, or robotics to scare you. The silence alone is enough to make you wonder if they're watching you ;) M. Night Shyamalan knows what scares people and deploys that tactic well in this movie. From the very beginning we see the mysterious traces of what could be hoodlums making trouble in a small farm town but as the movie progresses things begin to change. It isnt often that you hear the rest of the movie goers in the theater gasp at a dark silhouette or scream at the sudden appearance of...well, you'll see. After seeing M. Nights first two hit films, viewers are sure to pay special attention to tiny details, watching for what could be clues to a twisted ending. This movie was incredible to say the least and you may be thinking, "scary enough that my girlfriend will hold me tight right?" well, not unless you guys dont care about looking scared white in front of the ladies :)
