A Review

Rating: 10/10 (3 August 2002)

"The Sixth Sense" established M. Night Shyamalan as a premier film maker. "Signs" further cements his reputation by delivering one of the most suspenseful, thrilling movies ever made.
By far the best film of a summer that has had its share of quality titles ("Minority Report", "Road to Perdition") "Signs" is better than anything out there, far surpassing even Night's own "Sixth Sense".
I do not wish to divulge any key plot points, but a scene of home video footage is one of the most terrifying things I have ever seen.
The film deals with several issues regarding spirituality, and Mel Gibson,playing the father of the family who lost his faith after his wife was killed in a car crash, does a fine job of conveying his character's conflicted feelings.
This film is a jewel, something that should not be missed. The best film of the summer is "Signs", a surreal adventure that will leave you with goosebumps long after you leave the theater. ***** (out of five)
