TOTALLY INCREDIBLE!!! Hilarious, heartbreaking, horrifying! Scariest movie I've ever seen!STUNNING CLIMAX! 9 out of 10!

Rating: 9/10 (8 August 2002)

I have not seen The Sixth Sense, but I have heard enough about M. Night Shymalan to know he could be the next Spielberg. I have seen Unbreakable and I thought it was terrific. I'm still waiting to see the highly praised Sixth Sense, but I saw Signs (twice already).
Signs is the best movie this year in my opinion. Better than Minority Report, Spider-Man, better than K-19 (which are some of my favorites this summer).
The movie begins with the appearance of crop circles in former reverend, Graham Hess's (Mel Gibson) farm. His children, Morgan Hess and Bo Hess, are terrified and confused by them and their dogs begin acting strange, as if they sense a predator. They try to shake off the shock of the signs but the children become obsessed with aliens and it soon rubs off onto former baseball star Merill Hess (Joaquin Phoenix), Graham's brother. Six months before the movie opens, Graham's wife died and he's lost all faith in God (just a big part of the movie). From then on you are frightened out of your mind with nerve wracking intense scenes and jump scenes.
This movie was the scariest movie I've yet seen. Even scarier than the rather ridiculous "The Exorcist". This movie has the three H's. It's Hilarious, Heartbraking, and Horrifying.
The only thing that keeps it from getting a perfect 10 is this: When they actually showed an alien, it didn't scare me. The scene was intense but the aliens aren't that scary. That's just me though. People in the audience were screaming their lungs out. The climax was incredible though.

We had a great audience. People cheered when an alien was (spoiler!) getting the Hellen of Troy beat out of it. People were laughing, people were crying, and at the end, their was an applause.
Great movie, 9 out of 10.
See it or be disappointed you didn't!
