Truly a cult classic for generations.

Rating: Null/10 (4 August 2002)

This was truly an awesome film that kept me and my fellow audience enthralled from beginning to end. M.Night rocks with his mixture of thrills and humor all through 'Signs'.
All the acting is first rate - Gibson is amazing in his role as the ex-minister, and Joaquin Phoenix does a competent job. The kids are amazing - Rory Culkin and Abigail Breslin rock as Gibson's children. The little girl is cute as hell! You gotta admire the way the young director interperses the tension with the humor.
Certain Shyamalan trademarks: Reflection images, flashbacks, the whole noir touch... this guy is way ahead of the field.
**Spoilers** First off, we only get hints of the aliens throughout the movie, we hardly see them until the end. There's suspense and excitement throughout. Night keeps the focus on the family of Fr. Hess and the way they react to the unworldly happenings around them.
8/10 easy.
