M. Night Shyamalan peaked with Signs. Wonderfully creepy and magnificently manipulative, it's a self-consciously old-school scary movie. Even this non-horror fan enjoyed it.

Leading a great cast that includes Shyamalan himself, Mel proves the value of a great star, especially in a film told as much through glances as dialog. Signs will either give you nightmares or cure them, given how ultimately silly it is. Still, an exquisitely performed and consummat… |
