SIGNS - great movie!

rxfiend · 07-29-2002, 05:38 AM

just seen the movie "Signs" and i must say it's one of the better films i've seen this year. i loved the "end of the world" type of atmosphere that it played out and even had scenes that were very similiar to Night of the Living Dead

Spoiler:

like the boarding of the house to keep the aliens out and then hiding out in the basement until they were gone

. I can't wait to see audience reaction during the film at the theatres. should be interesting. it definately gave me a few chills during various scenes.

highly recommended!!

if you let yourself really get into the movie, it will give you some scares/chills!

Hey rxfiend, how about that Brazilian camcorder sighting scene?

definately cool!! i really liked the scene

Spoiler:

in which Mel Gibson's character is looking around in the cornfield and stumbles upon another crop circle. Then off in the distance, he can hear something and then see a glimpse of an alien. Some creepy stuff and it works very well.

I haven't seen it yet but I really like this director, he's got a good and healthy anti-MTV style. Hope "Signs" continues this route.

I thoght this movie looked really good. I enjoyed Night's previous films, so I see no reason why I wouldnt like this. And I think this looks like it could have a few scares in it, which is a plus since I havent been scared by a film in years. I'll be there on Friday to see it.

Oh yeah... this weekend I'll see it!!!

I just came back from seeing this movie. You were really kept on the edge of you seat the whole time. I have to say it's probably one of the best movies I have seen this year. I really hope that it gets a good dvd release with an extended directors cut.

Excellent movie! Very creepy at times, particularly the aforementioned camcorder scene. I'd say it's definitely Shyamalan's best work to date. I've never been the biggest fan of Gibson as an actor, but he's great in this. The one scene at the dinner table with his family is so wonderfully acted, and is easily among [Mel Gibson's] best work.

Anyway, great film. See it.

Loved it, loved it, loved it! Especially after pissing away 90 minutes at Goldmember.

I was checking out the comments at IMDB and was amazed at how many people just didn't get it.

The theater was totally silent through the last act and while the credits started up. I think that's a good sign, as people must have been mulling over what they just saw. Great movie. Suspense, a few scares, good character development, good acting.

Went to see this film tonight. I agree with Cujo108 on the comments on the film.
