Summary: actually scary!
Review: There is one problem with horror/thriller movies these days. They aren't scary. Signs is a movie that scares you and keeps you scared well past the closing credits. It's hard to explain why, perhaps the combination of the creeping plot, the uncertainty, and that they are alone and defenseless. That and some of the scenes are just plain eerie/creepy. The birthday party scene is just insane. The movie also has a side plot about mel gibson's character losing his faith. Even for those who aren't religious, the plot is interesting enough to keep your attention and melds nicely into the movie. Seriously, this movie is worth watching more than any other movie in it's genre.

Summary: "Signs" is the most hideous sci-fi film I ever watched.
Review: This was the most disappointing sci-fi film I EVER watched.You have these aliens that have the technology to come all the way to earth, and the technology to make perfect crop circles. Then these same aliens can not go near the water, and do not have ray guns to kill people. Not hardly. One thing that disgusted me was the family came up from the basement after the invasion was over; and the plywood covering doors and windows were covered with these geometric shaped cut-outs (Stars, circles, cresent moons, etc) This is THE WORST sci-fi movie I ever saw, It was even worse than "Independence Day".

Summary: It's About Faith
Review: Signs is a very creative film that is actually about struggling with faith. The whole "alien invaders" thing is actually just a creative device (done quite well) to bring the issue of reliance on God to the service. All of the actors in the film were quite good, especially the young boy. It seems the negative reviews are mainly from people who were expecting a sci-fi or horror film. Although there are definitely some creepy moments, that's not actually what the film is about. Its not supposed to be fast-paced. Its a a subtle film that is supposed to make one ponder and very effective as such. I highly reccomend it.

Summary: Gripping tension betrayed by plot flaws
Review: I have to admit I was disappointed with this film, as I was expecting to be able to give four or five stars. The tension the director builds is gripping. I like the premise of the story: the crop signs and the creepy happenings at the farm, the mystery surrounding Mel Gibson's character losing his faith in God, and the death of his wife. But while the setup was great, the actual unfolding of the story left me underwhelmed. There were just too many blunders in the plot to overlook. For instance, why wouldn't Gibson's character report what he found behind the cupboard door? Why wouldn't that have been on the TV news? Did he just leave that house and not tell anyone? That makes no sense at all. And like another said, what was the aliens' purpose in being there? This was not explained properly. Also, it was said in the story that they had higher intelligence and wouldn't need big muscles, but yet they attacked with superhuman speed and strength. I give this film three stars because I was marginally entertained and the tension at the beginning of the film was gripping. However, I cannot recommend this title.

Summary: One of the ultimate extraterrestrial movies.
Review: When Signs came out in the movie theaters, I had no idea that it even existed. My mom just tugged me out of the house repeating the phrase, "We're going to see the movie Signs, a lot of people said it's really good." Then at the theater, I saw the poster for it and my jaw dropped when I looked at the crop circle pictured on it. I was entranced by the whole movie and knew that when it came out, I would be waiting at the doors of whatever store was selling it. It gives an important message about how fragile humanity is and that it can take one night for everything to come crashing into pandemonium. It also rules out the possibility that Earth is the only planet supporting life; something that should be more well-known. Signs is a fantastic movie and I advise anybody who loves a chilling extraterrestrial movie to see it immediately.

Summary: GIBSON AT HIS BEST
Review: In the negative critiques of this film I can say these people just don't get it. This movie is about faith yes, but just as important its about the love of a family and how it helps these wonderfully developed characters survive and prevail in a crisis. The fact that the crisis is an invasion from space just makes it spooky and delightfully entertaining. great acting by all makes this a movie I don't get tired of watching.

Summary: A CREEPY MOVIE WITH IMPORTANT MESSAGES ABOUT HUMANITY
Review: I have been watching horror and sci-fi films for 30 years and one of the best films in this genre is without a doubt-Signs. It is a very creepy movie because it is not what we see that scares us, it is what we don't see: usually what can be found right in our own backyard. It is not a story about crop circles or flying saucers, It is a story of forgiveness, faith, redemption, honor, belief and love, the many things we hardly see anymore in this world. Some of the best parts of the film are not about the aliens but about the love between a father and his children, especially between the father and his asthmatic son in the film.
This is not a movie for children to watch alone as there is a creepy part which takes place at a childrens birthday party so
it should be watched with parents who can explain the important messages in the film. The director of Signs is the new Rod Serling (The Twilight Zone) because he can take a story with all the morals and values of humanity and blend it with horror, surprise and suspense. Definitely an important film to watch.

Summary: Straight Forward.
Review: Watching the movie - I started to think, maybe it's a movie not about aliens...and something more creative...
But - oh, I was wrong... It's safe to say it's best to watch the first 3 quarters of the movie...then turn it off - the ending spoiled it for me. I thought it was so poorly done, and definately not the suprise shocking ending I was hoping for...too bad.

Summary: This Movie is a Classic.
Review: I recently put this movie back in one night, in my darkened room and I was scared to death! It was so exciting to be frightened and intrigued by the way this man can direct a film. I think that the plot, the actors, the cinematography is all exceptional. I love what Night did here and I think that this is one of Mel Gibson's finest films, besides the Passion of course. What a great movie, I can't wait to watch it again!
