signs
i'm not a fan of spooky movies. mainly because of the way my imagination goes wild later on when i'm alone. signs isn't terribly spooky except in a couple of places. it didn't leave me with a "spooky" feeling but it didn't really leave me where i'd wished it would either.
the buildup to a "war of the worlds" and then there not being one, is kind of disappointing. i won't ruin the plot for you if you haven't seen it, but if you want a sci-fi thriller...this ain't it.
i found the father's struggle of faith and his search for the reason why things happen much more interesting. if you rent the dvd you should definitely watch the bonus scenes and hear some of m. night shymalan's inspirations and reasons for doing some of the things he did in the movie.
this one will definitely get you thinking about faith and "coincidences" so if you're into that it's good. it didn't really live up to the hype i heard from other people but it had an interesting plot and had some funny parts too.
IMHO.
