Definitely a 'made for commercial tv ' effort

Rating: 5/10 (3 August 2002)

Here's a film they'll be showing on your local station affiliate without having to cut one second. Looking for promises of the trailers to be kept I found fraud. The only thing scary about this film was that it would go on too long. Too many things were out of sync and to many more were senseless. It seemed as though this innovative Director may have run out of ideas as there was nothing refreshing or original to be found in Signs.
Possible spoilers: Aliens bright enough to construct spacecraft but needing crop circles to identify gathering points. Are you kidding? Aliens raiding a planet where water is acid to them? Huh? I mean the Triffids had no choice did they? Aliens with high technology and no small arms. Aliens 'harvesting ' vis a vis " How To Serve Man " from The Outer Limits. Mel's character called Father but not Catholic!? What planet was this taking place on? Not a gun to be found anywhere!? I mean if a baseball bat could do one in what could a shotgun do? And what a jumbled view of 'spirituality '!!!
You want 'scary'? Re-rent Jeepers Creepers. You want 'spirituality' maintained under stress? Re-read The Book of Job.
