The biggest load of tripe to come along in a while...

Rating: 1/10 (8 September 2002)

What a huge disappointment! The trailers for this film make it appear as though it will be a psychological drama, an examination of the effect of a "possible" alien presence on the population in general and one family in particular.
Instead, we get a schlocky X-Files ripoff with green monsters that go bump in the night and a typical cheesy Hollywood script with religious messages hitting you over the head like a giant flying saucer, plus the worst case of asthma management you could ever hope to see.
The only thing keeping this from being a B-movie along the lines of "Plan 9 From Outer Space" was the presence of Mel Gibson. Mel, has your career really fallen *that* far?
And speaking of falling careers, what happened to M. Night Shyamalan since "Sixth Sense"? I thought "Unbreakable" was bad, but "Signs" has dropped this once-promising young director's career another notch.
I gave this movie a 1/10 in the voting section, but only because ZERO wasn't a choice!
