A cut above the usual "alien invasion" films

Rating: 9/10 (15 August 2002)

I really enjoyed Signs. Too many recent science fiction films dwell on either dazzling special effects, or extreme violence. This film is low-keyed and lets the audience see events unfold through the eyes of the participants. Abigail Breslin is a wonder throughout, with all the actors at their top form. I'd recommend this to anyone.
