MY Advice on Watching this Movie ... Don't !

Rating: Null/10 (26 August 2002)

Just when I thought there is no way someone can make a movie worse than Unbreakable along comes Signs to prove me wrong. This had to be one of the worst movies I've ever seen. Signs is a mixture of the ultimate rip-off flick The Blairwitch Project (1 hour plus of pure nothing) and the excruciating boredom of The Panic Room. The movie even managed to work in the classic prolonged dark blank screen shot we so fondly remember from Blairwitch (how clever). I still don't know what kept me from getting up and walking out on this trash  oh maybe it was the work of aliens keeping me there against my will  oooooo I'm so scared. This movie had a lousy script (a great cure for insomnia though) which made a mockery of the whole idea of `conflict resolution'; the acting was brutal; the directing was even worse; and overall it was just a cheap looking movie which an appearance by Manoj Nelliyattu Shyamalan only cheapened it more. This guy is no actor and it is starting to become evident he has no business on either side of the camera. Manoj Nelliyattu Shyamalan is a one hit wonder with the Sixth Sense. Irregardless of the fact that his movies are making a profit for the studios (how can they not make a profit, they are such cheap productions), bottom line is he's only embarrassed himself with his last two movies.
