Genius

Rating: Null/10 (4 August 2002)

Signs was the first movie to ever actually make me jump more than once in my seat. Several people in the theatre got up and left because they were so freaked out. And a movie that can make people leave by being too scary while showing little or nothing at all out of the ordinary is golden. Comedy abounds, and if it didn't then the movie wouldn'tve had its effect--in one second people were laughing, then 2 seconds later were screaming. It was a great experience.
POSSIBLE SPOILERS

As for the alien, while I have heard many comment that it is too "cheesy" or fake-looking-- it is not. It is the only movie to have the guts to show an alien that isn't the classic 'Alien' or some octopus garbage like in Independence Day.
Also, the movie is really about faith and spirituality, and many forget that when analyzing it as a scifi thriller. It is much more thematic than that. So in conclusion, I paid $8.25 to see this twice, and it was great both times. Go see this one fast. 4 1/2 of 5 stars
