Shyamalan back to his best.

Rating: 8/10 (14 February 2003)

After the relative disappointment of "Unbreakable," one can be
forgiven for approaching "Signs" with added caution. But it delivers
on every level, emerging as one of those rare films you look
forward to seeing again even as you're watching it.
Shyamalan is a master of subtlety: he frequently puts his audience
in a position from which they will be able to generate their own
sense of fear without ever having to resort to cheap shock tactics.
And just to round off his talents, he also turns in a good
performance! It's a moving film too, Gibson, who has rarely been
better, largely responsible for that with a deft portrayal of a man
with both inner demons and impeccable moral standards. In
addition, "Signs" has its own brand of humour which occasionally
and pleasingly surfaces to soothe the tension of what is a
thoroughly absorbing and rewarding story.
