"There's a monster outside my room, can I have a glass of water?"
"This is exactly what the nerds want..."
"Everybody in this family needs to just calm down and eat some fruit or something."
Another good movie from director M Night Shyamalan, this movie provides the viewer with a few scares and well presented suspense. With a good plot and good performances from Mel Gibson and Joaquin Phoenix, this will please horror and thriller fans.
i loved this movie one of shymalans best if not the best. you always have to watch for signs
Mel Gibson is a bit of hamy actor..Quite interesting but didn't quite cut it for me.
Critic Reviews
It's a smart, skillful movie from a writer-director who's only 31 years old, but already a master of blending the chills of fright with the warmth of love.full review
Turns out to have few thoughts and no thrills.full review
The work of a born filmmaker, able to summon apprehension out of thin air.full review
The problem is that Signs manages to be both so terribly serious and so unimportant at the same time.full review
Skillful as he is, Mr. Shyamalan is undone by his pretensions.full review
Unlike the lumbering and portentous Unbreakable, Shyamalan's Signs is a satisfyingly taut suspenser.full review
[Shyamalan] turns the goose-pimple genre on its empty head and fills it with spirit, purpose and emotionally bruised characters who add up to more than body count.full review
