Sixth sense meets X-files

Rating: 8/10 (1 August 2002)

I really did not think Mel Gibson could handle a serious role like this, but he really did it. The title says "Signs", but its not only about the signs in the corn fields. Its more about the fact that every thing has a meaning, how ever strange the sign might be. This is a very good movie, without all the fast action special effects stuff. It's a real tribute to the old movies where you could scare, without actually showing anything, by just using lights and good acting. You can hear the scary things, you can see a clawed hand or see the blurry reflection of it on a television set. The story given to anyone else could have been a new "Independence Day", but Shyamalan has done it again. Like the sixth sense its a movie concentrated to good acting and cinematography. This is a film you can both enjoy on the big screen and on DVD or video.
