This film is from the same writer and director of Sixth Sense and fluctuates between some solid moments to some weak moments. It is quite entertaining and keeps the suspense in some scenes although it never really gets edgy.

Signs tells us the story of a widowed Pennsylvanian farmer, an ex-priest who has given up his belief due to his wife's death in a car accident. He lives on a remote farm with his brother, his daughter and his asthmatic child.

The crop circle signs appear in his farm, the news is soon filled with more signs and sightings of aliens that are reported all over the world from India to Mexico.

Mankind is threatened by the new visitors.

The film moves quite slowly, although it has intriguing and thrilling moments, there are a couple of scary moments like when they are showing a TV programme and you can see and Alien crashing into a kid's birthday party.

Even the director of the film decided to appear, his part as a vet who captured an alien in his kitchen.
