    An Overall Good Movie

    Signs, as typical of such movies directed by M. Night Shyamalan is a excellent, edge-of-your-seat, thriller. He works in such an intricate method of thought that he doesn't need squirting blood or severed body parts to scare you but does so by playing with your mind.

    The story deals with a rural family, that of a father, his two children and his brother operating a corn farm in Pennsylvania when crop circles suddenly appear in their fields. Dealing with the threat of an iminent, world wide, alien invasion, the family is set off on an emotional journey to heal a broken family and save thier lives.
