    The "poor" siege scene in Signs was better than in most zombie films I've seen, to be honest.

    Ridiculous or not, Signs had something many films lack. Suspense! It was a great film. Especially the first time around. Saw it in the Theathers. Great film.

    i agree with ned, i for one found signs scarier than the 6th sense, or even night of the living dead for that manner, the booming music when it just walks past the camera was chilling.

    did NOT need cgi for the aliens though, only the camo bits and the finger cut of bit, otherwise a guy in a suit would have done.

    I concur! And Gibson and Phoenix were plain excellent in their roles!

    Signs was good ... until the aliens were discovered to be killed by water ... yes, invade a planet that's 70% water ... doi.

    That ruined the whole flick for me pretty much, that was so f*cking stupid beyond belief.

    Aside from that, it was a pretty good flick, aside also from Shyamalan's cameo, which just set my eyes rolling.

    Sixth Sense was alright, I appreciate it for what it was at the time, but I didn't think that much of it to be honest, I preferred Unbreakable to SS, but even that was a bit "hmmm..."

    The Village was garbage and I never even bothered to see Lady in the Water ... I might see The Happening (certainly NOT in the cinema) just to see how sh*t it is.

    ...

    Reminds me of a Robot Chicken skit with M. Night in it and it was just a series of story premises and then a twist would happen and Shyamalan would pop up and go "what a twist!" ... sums it up for me really, lol.

    maybe they had no other alternative?

    -im just back from seeing the happening, WHAT A PILE OF WANK!.

    the main character is allready married to .whom i will name "the **** kirsten duntz" ,yet shes the "love interest". we know what it is right off the bat, and its just walking with a few notable deaths throughout.
    there were some cameos, like the guy who played dante in clerks, and the cmaerawork was really nice, the plot adn acting however was completely appailing, i laughed all the way through.

    EPIC, EPIC FAIL!

    are you kidding dude?, i mean to each his own but aside from jhon luquizimo (who played luigi in the mario bros. movie) and the protagonist all the characters were expendable and forgetful.
    The old crazy lady was unneeded, the army officer actually seemed mentally disabled and the female leads role was as bad as a made for the sci fi channel movie tarring dean kain!?!
    its easily his worst movie, theres no suspense, everything gets spelt out and the "twist" seems more like an opening for a cheap more of the same sequel.


    I ACTUALLY THINK PROM NIGHT IS A BETTER MOVIE THAN THIS!

    Remake or original? The original was decent, but all I've read about the remake is it's just a massive gash pile.

    Would you say it was entertaining in a "so bad it was good" sort of way?
