4.5/5
"Shyamalan takes a potentially trite and overused concept (aliens come to Earth) and infuses it into a rustic, realistic, and altogether creepy tale of hidden invasion."  eFilmCritic.com  Scott Weinberg

C
"... Shyamalan's style is surprisingly graceless, as if paralyzed by a smothering sense of purpose..."  Seattle Post-Intelligencer  Sean Axmaker

B
"Shyamalan wears his influences on his sleeve, from composer James Newton Howard's Hitchcockian score to the absorbing Close Encounters by way of Amazing Stories screenplay."  Eclipse Magazine  Sean O'Connell

4/4
"great"  sbs.is  Stefan Birgir Stefansson

B-
"Signs has the heart that was lacking in Unbreakable, but stumbles badly in its treatment of the paranormal, in this case "X-Files" / "Twilight Zone" sci-fi."  Decent Films Guide  Steven D. Greydanus

7/10
"A real chiller thriller."  www.susangranger.com  Susan Granger

2/4
"Bill Paxton's 'Frailty,' with similar intentions but a meaner streak, did it all so much better."  Film Freak Central  Walter Chaw

3/4
"An intriguing idea that ends up overly predictable."  Oscar Guy  Wesley Lovell

"Click here to see review"  Wolf Entertainment Guide  William Wolf

"One may never get the answer that they seek, but they will be scared out of the wits when searching for one."  BlackFilm.com  Wilson Morales
