After The Sixth Sense, M Night Shyamalan seemed untouchable. Then Unbreakable came out and made little to no impact. So the pressure was on for his next outing. Combining forces with Mel Gibson and Joaquin Phoenix, Shyamalan provides a grounded look at an alien invasion. Join us as we get into what happened to 2002's Signs.

SERIES SYNOPSIS: Hollywood has had its fair share of historically troubled productions. Whether it was casting changes, actor deaths, fired directors, in-production rewrites, constant delays, budget cuts or studio edits, these films had every intention to be a blockbuster but were beset with unforeseen disasters. Sometimes huge hits, sometimes box office bombs. Either way, we have to ask: What Happened To This Horror Movie?

@@PrimeSportsNetwork I know what the movie was attempting to do... and it was good until the end when m night ruined it with such a laughable ending. So, highly advanced aliens run around a new planet completely naked, then get trapped in a kitchen closet, and never at any point realized most of the planet they are invading is covered in a substance that is deadly to them..right.. only a simpleton rube would be able to maintain cinematic suspension of disbelief through that. Just because it's a story about faith doesn't mean it has to be idiotic. I wish I was more simple. I would be able to enjoy poorly written movies more.

I don’t understand why Signs receives so much criticism. Not every film he makes has to equal the Sixth Sense. An alien invasion told from the perspective of an isolated family is intriguing and I love how he tied in a man grappling with a loss of faith.

For us the first scene that really made us jump was when they had boarded up the house and it got all quite. And then the aliens started running around the porch. And all you hear is that and then, BANG!!! We jumped so high on that one. But that is just one amazing scene in a movie full of those and then people get hung up on the aliens being sensitive to water. Oh well. We got a great movie with one little flaw that you only realize at the end of the movie. But it's still a great movie. So enjoy it. That's my 2 cents, if it's worth that much.

A lot of people think the aliens were actually demons. That idea changes the entire movie. Look up videos that talk about this. It makes a lot more sense than aliens. A lot of the choices they make dont make a lot of sense. They are confused about opening doors, water burns them but then why come to a planet where water is everywhere including the atmosphere and not once do you see any ship.

@necrosunderground 27 күн бұрын

I wish I could remember where I read it, but I saw someone post this theory in response to water-weakness criticism: Survival training. Just like we do with our military, the aliens were conducting exercises in a hostile environment without protective gear or weapons. Remember, after they leave, it's reported on the radio that the aliens snatched up some humans before leaving. So, look at it as, "Your orders are to deploy into a hostile environment with no protection, survive for X number of hours, grab samples of local lifeforms, and bug out." And, if they were planning a bigger invasion to follow, it makes more sense that they would be doing survival training at that point. The explanation worked for me.

This movie took, "You meant it for evil but God meant it for good so that many people should be kept alive," to new heights (paraphrased from Genesis 50:20). A stellar movie. But lighthearted? It was disturbing as heck, a little boy had to stab his dog to death to save his sister. Geez. And the glimpses of the aliens were super well done until, to me at least, Shyamalan showed too much of them which diminished their level of terror imo.
