A cheap alternative to sleeping pills

Rating: 1/10 (4 May 2004)

As a sci-fi fan, I looked forward to this film, although being slightly uneasy about the director's previous project 'Unbreakable'.
Signs is overall a thinking film, but to get through it, you will need lots of caffine. The dialogue is so slowly whispered throughout and the scenes played even slower. If I had a penny for saying 'get on with it' throughout the film, I'd have Â£1.68.
Mel Gibson hardly moves and basically keeps the same dour expression throughout. The kids are robotically weird and the minor characters lifeless.
Not once did I see these characters as believeable.
As with Unbreakable, the director, M Night Shyamalan, has given a thoroughly boring movie experience.
