SIGNS [2002]

Writer/director M. Night Shyamalan lightens up a bit with a heavy dose of skittish paranoid humor in the alien invasion thriller Signs.
With some interesting camera work, enjoyable performances, startling moments and fantastic music, Signs is a joy to watch even if it does slap you in the ass with some groan worthy moments.   It doesn't leave enough to the imagination to make it fully effective as the perfect blend of humor and thrills that it tries to be.

I always get mad at the dinner scene where they don't eat all the special food they wanted. Eat it motherfuckers! It's delicious!

Alien was only briefly scary as a silhouette on the roof. Should have stayed that way.

Still entertaining somewhat.
Mel's line about losing his mind turned out to be prophetic.
