My wife often leaves half-drunk glasses of water around the house and I always find myself thinking, "What is this, Signs?"

When I've said that out loud to her, she just gives me a blank look, having no idea what I'm talking about.

This is a movie that I've seen so many times but will still drop in on when I see it listed. And after all those viewings, I have to admit that I always thought Phoenix was the late wife's brother 😏

Oh yeah, I will definitely be watching this movie again and again. Maybe have it on in the background to keep me company lol

Who knew the Gibson-Phoenix combo would work?! 🤓 I think they did quite a good job playing brothers!

One of my favourite M Night films. Also one of my first “date” movies as a young dude. His early films were great for movie dates

So true. Pretty sure I watched Sixth Sense *and* The Village on dates.

So I really like his movies, I know that he is quite polarizing lol But I think he has added something really special to horror films!

And I can see this being good date movie! haha! 🤓

My daughter is so freaked out by this movie. I really enjoyed this movie and think it is very effective until the end. It just tries a bit too hard. Other than that, I dig it.

The ending seems to really divide people! lol Like any M. Night Shyamalan film? 😅

Tell your daughter that I feel the SAME way - this movie is F R E A K Y. Thanks for reading and commenting, Jessica!! 🙏🏼

I’ll tell her. She always wants to watch it again though! I’m sure no one has been able to give him any notes on his endings since the Sixth Sense which is probably the issue. Haha.

I actually really liked this movie. Funny, scary, and oddly touching. Saw it at the Mall of America when it came out, and can say it was a great experience!

It IS oddly touching. I definitely found myself tearing up a bit. 🥲 Thanks so much for reading and leaving a great comment, Adam!!

And thank you so so much for subscribing!! Ahhh too kind! 😭

I hated signs as a kid because it scared me but ive grown to appreciate signs because of how GOOD it was at scaring me. Have I watched it again since I was a kid? No—why do you ask?

If I had watched this when it came out, I probably would never have watched another M. Night Shyamalan movie again for the rest of my life lol 😅

LOL you should give it another go! It's a quiet little film but it has its punches. But really, it's not over the top like modern day stuff!!

True! It comes to mind whenever people talk about “dont show the monster”. Literally only like 10 seconds of screentime! Ill have to put it back on my list…

Expand full comment

Yup! And basically before that moment, it's tricks of light and shadows. Really cool actually how Shyamalan was able to build such terror and suspense while doing very little 👏🏼

I haven't seen this for sooo long! Thanks for the reminder

Expand full comment

This was first viewing!! I can't believe I let so much time go by without having seen it lol

Oh my pleasure, I'm big on retrospect movie watching haha The contemporary stuff doesn't hold my attention as well. 🤓

🤣

A lot of new films aren't great and try to be woke instead of good unfortunately. I've been thinking of rewatching the old Scream films lately 🔪

Expand full comment

🤣 LOL amazing.

And yesssss!! I should revisit those toooo!
