Rating: Null/10 (8 August 2002)

If you have not seen Signs yet, you have probably guessed it is about extra-terrestrial life on earth. After you have seen the movie you may or may not think differently.
Signs goes into detail about the emotional well being of the main characters. I was surprised to see the movie achieved this in such a short time. Graham Hess (played by Mel Gibson) is a former reverend, and seems to be loosing faith throughout the movie. Gibson superbly acts out this emotional distress that Graham has. I can't tell you much about Grahams emotional role in the movie, seeing as it would give away too much about the film.
Merrill Hess (played by Joaquin Phoenix) is Graham's younger brother. Allot of the story is shared with Merrill. Merrill also has his mental weak points. Phoenix to has an excellent performance.
Morgan and Bo Hess are Graham's two children who play almost a bigger role than the adult performers. Rory Culkin delivers and makes the movie all the more entertaining as well as Abigail Breslin. Almost all of the things showed in the film build up to the ending. Though I have to say I didn't know how it was going to end. That is one of the things that make Signs and excellent movie. M. Night Shyamalan weaves a most original plot. He of course, plays a small, almost cameo role in the movie.
The movie will in a way scare you so that you don't even know how deep the story line is until later. This movie is one of the most original pieces of cinema I have ever seen. My opinion simply stated:' See the movie".
