Review

"I can't even imagine (what's happening out there)" says Graham Hess, a Pennsylvania farmer and former minister, as his family comes under attack from unseen forces. Through a savvy bit of filmmaking prowess, one watching writer-director Shyamalan's tense, eerie sci-fi psychological thriller could ponder that aloud, too, as we only see what the characters see. Consequently, the fear of the unknown is taken to the next degree of the horrific as the Sixth Sense creator comes up with another original and effective way to creep us out. In a nicely controlled performance, Gibson is Hess, a widower with two children and a question of faith. When strange happenings occur on his farm, beginning with a huge crop circle in his corn field, it becomes apparent he and the rest of the world are being visited by extraterrestrials. Recalling Hitchcock (specifically The Birds) rather than Spielberg, Shyamalan maintains a deliberate, steady pace, offering only little bits of information that give rise to several highly suspenseful set pieces. It culminates with an all-out siege that's at once heartpounding and life-affirming. Signs isn't showy, and may even lack the bravado of Sixth Sense, but by way if its spare filmmaking style, it quietly, almost subversively, creates chills of quite the scary kind.
