2 out of 3 ain't bad

Rating: Null/10 (11 August 2003)

M. Night Shyamalan's movies, for me anyway, are 2 hits and 1 miss. The Sixth sense and Signs are very good representations of the film making craft. Unbreakable... Well lets just say I didn't like it.

The movie, Signs is a well planned movie that avoided the all too present predictable plots that spew out of hollywood these days. I found myself thinking. "Ok here comes the..." and "Ho hum here we go again" Much to my surprise, the movie did not tread on that familiar ground. The tension was planned perfectly and barely let up. The shocks and jolts that were present were placed with precision for maxium affect. At least M. Night Shyamalan did not opt to simply change the scene and crank out a loud noise for his shocks. This is a clever movie even if a supposed advanced alien race has problems with doors.
