One the few films that still scares me today

Rating: 8/10 (8 April 2009)

I'm not a fan neither of Mel Gibson or M.Night Shyamalan, but when I saw the trailer for signs I thought that it might a decent film, but it was more than decent it was brilliant. Mel Gibson plays an ex-priest who gave up on praying after his wife past away. He and his family start to experience strange things, like finding crops circles and seeing weird creatures outside the house. The storyline of the film is solid and very entertaining, there is no gore in this movie which is a relief because even a gore fan can get tired of to much blood in movies. The acting is good and very well done, now for the scary parts, they didn't show perfectly the aliens which wasn't that bad, there were scenes that did make me jump and did give goosebumps, though some scenes may be a little bit too predictable the movie is still very well done. Signs may not be a masterpiece but it is a very frightening film with a well scripted story and superb acting.
