Average Rating: Rating: - 'Signs' Hype Not a Hoax M. Night Shyamalan, writer/director of The Sixth Sense and Unbreakable, has followed up with a new thriller/horror, Signs, starring Mel Gibson. Shyamalan has followed up with a film that will give audiences the chills, give 'em plenty of jolts of surprises, but also, keeps the audience on the edge of their seat asking all the questions a mystery/thriller of this kind should. The writer/director skillfully executed this movie to nearly perfection status, as Signs offers horror-filled moments as much as it does with great humorous touches. While an idea surrounding the final segments of the film shares similarities with a past cult classic in the genre, M. Night Shyamalan proves that seeing is not always the scariest, as the filmmaker creates moments where your imagination runs free of what really is happening, allowing for a truly frightening experience at its terrifying spots. With a concluding segment (last 15 - 20 mins) that will likely result in pure shrieking screams from millions of moviegoers, Signs could be labeled as the perfect Halloween flick, offering gut-wrenching horror moments to great comic relief. The mystery of Signs is well worth the wait and one hell of a ride, as the film stands as one of the best films in the genre. Rating: - A Good Suspense Thriller, Stronger than most movies of 2002 M. Night Shyamalan's movie Signs is another minimalist shocker movie. Unlike the Friday the 13th, 13 Ghosts movies with dumb unoriginal plots and gross out special effects, Night returns to older style movie theatrics used by Hitchcock. The small cast is well acted by all; Mel Gibson is in a role that could have been played by Night's favorite male lead, Bruce Willis. The children, also another theme in Night's movie, are well cast including Rory Culkin yet another Culkin child actor with real chops, and Abigail Breslin in her first movie. They prove yet again that Night is an excellent director of children. Joaquin Phoenix has a very strong performance as the younger brother of Gibson, and produces a subtle and humorous performance. The movie, written and directed by M. Night Shyamalan, has the same understated tone and colors of his hit "The Sixth Sense". He sufficiently delays the actual alien confrontation till the very end with minimal snippets to tease the viewer. The ending does tie things up very conveniently and is the only real problem with the movie. Many people love the microcosmic view of a macrocosmic event, but in the end the movie is a redemption picture that is too neatly tied to seem real, Definitely worth the buy. A suspense thriller, with comic moments, and minimal profanity. Strong story, script, and acting. Rating: - Excellent I, too, had heard questionable reviews about this film, but I was completely blown away. Everything in this movie fit. The histories of the characters are woven into the plot. You see that the paths they could have taken instead of the paths they did take ultimately led toward the final conclusion. Awesome.
