Review of Signs

Signs (2002)
8/10
Honestly Shocked
5 September 2023
I'm honestly shocked this has a 6.8 on IMDb.

A bunch of people used to a 'twist'?

A bunch of people who think all alien movies must contain explosions?

A combination of both?

Great casting.

Great acting.

Great writing.

Lots of tension.

One of the most serious explorations of faith in cinema.

Just an all around really good movie.

Joaquin Phoenix steals the show.

I will say, it does have a very morose vibe - being the back drop is everyone being sad because the mom had died. I wonder if that is what turned people off. The subject of aliens plays second fiddle to it.

Yeah, if I had to put my finger on it, I'd bet that's it.
