The all-time second scariest film (after the Exorcist) SPOILERS

Rating: 9/10 (18 September 2002)

Yup. This one definitely worked for me. Found myself squeezing the handles white-knuckled most of the time. The idea is not that original (the TV-series "V"), but I don't recall anyone using the signs-in-the-cornfields- idea before. Also directing and screenplay are brilliant- it's amazing how, in a production the size of this, little they invested in the aliens. And regarding, how such a tense atmosphere they managed to create. Let's see: all they needed was ONE guy in an alien suit for footage of about 4 minutes, and some grady, low-quality "news-footage" - of lights in the sky! Of course, in horror flicks often more is less, since what you CAN'T see is scarier than what you DO see and goes for this, too, for the last reel... but for horror-fans, here is a perfect example of minimazing the income and maximazing the outcome- "The Signs" is truly the work of an undeniable genius!
P.S. Did anyone of you whiners think that it might of not been just the H2O that kills these aliens? Maybe it's the dissolved ions in it that are present on Earth (that is, in the 1)tap water of 2)Earth), or the pH... or the amoebas? (All that water in the glasses was more than 24 hours old)
