Yeah this alien fucked me up as a kid, this movie was absolutely wild

Like yeah the twist was a little dumb but Signs was a great movie overall. Tension for the whole family. I really enjoyed it.

I'm sorry but the 'swing away' line is silly and I make fun of it every time I think of it

That's kind of the point, the juxtaposition of a silly line during a serious moment.

I read somewhere that they weren't aliens, they were demons, and the water only worked because it was blessed, so it became holy water. What a twist!

The whole movie is a Christian allegory. It's probably one of the reasons Mel Gibson was in it.

They called the little girl an angel more than once.

Also see where he locked one in a closet and it couldn't get out. Don't know if that's a demon thing or not, but he couldn't see it's reflection in the knife.

It turns out that Shyamalan, in an interview from 2006, has confirmed this.

"You know what I said about giving a Dracula movie a deceptive title? That's what I did with Signs. That was a story about a war between Heaven and Hell. The aliens were demons and the people's dead loved ones were angels."

Back in my day we didn't have TikTok, we had a Robot Chicken and we liked it ᕦ⁠(⁠ò⁠_⁠ó⁠ˇ⁠)

That scene gave me chills, and still does even when I know it's coming.
