Amazon.co.uk Review
Just as Unbreakable slowly revealed itself to be Superman re-thought as an intense personal drama, this is The Birds redone as a religious drama of faith lost and perhaps regained. The tone is less certain than the earlier films--some of the laughs seem unintentional and Gibson's performance isn't quite on a level with Willis's commitment--but Shyamalan still directs the suspense and shock dramas better than anyone else.
On the DVD: Signs has THX-certified Dolby Digital Surround Sound which reproduces in the home exactly as the scary sounds that creeped you out in the cinema. A selection of deleted scenes are mostly tiny, but there's a self-reflexive joke (wisely dropped but worth preserving) as Gibson wishes his dead wife were here in the crisis because she was so smart: "She always knew how movies would end." A six-part making-of goes deeper than the usual puff-piece, including an interesting alternative to a commentary track as Shyamalan talks through a précis of clips and on-set snippets. A tradition continued from the Sixth Sense and Unbreakable DVDs is an extract from Pictures, "Night's first alien film". It's a teenage camcorder effort in which the future A-list Hollywoodian is menaced by a tiny Halloween-masked robot. Also included are a "multi-angle storyboards" feature, subtitles in a clutch of languages and eerie menu screens. --Kim Newman

A favourite :),

This review is from: Signs [DTS] [DVD] (DVD)
I know lots of people on Amazon haven't been impressed by this film, and they've a right to their opinions. I guess it's just people like me who enjoyed it.
I love and hate this film. I hate it because it still gives me nightmares sometimes (I have a phobia of aliens, started in childhood by ET...), but I love it because it tells a beautiful story with the concept of an alien invasion as a chilling backdrop. A man who loses his faith after his wife is killed in a freak accident, then finds it again after (through perhaps fate) his son's life is saved. I found the aliens terrifying-that first time when Graham (Mel Gibson) looks out the window and sees one in the dark is one of my scariest movie moments ever. It also has a beautiful and often chilling score by James Newton Howard. I had to buy it. Look out for the amazing music during the climax.

WOW blu-ray!!!,
By
This review is from: Signs [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
Well I think I have the privilege of being the first to review this new blu-ray of 'Signs' on Amazon! Having just watched this on my PS3 via my Samsung 37" tv, hooked up to my Onkyo TX-SR605 Amp...what can I say!!! Despite a few minor flaws & white speckles on the print, this is a flawless transfer, with deep inky blacks & rich vibrant colours. The new level of detail is a revelation compared to the Standard dvd release. The 5.1 PCM Uncompressed soundtrack really rocks with totally immersive surround sound in all the speakers. Checkout the night-time scene in the cornfield and you'll hear what I'm saying! This is one of my favourite M. Night Shyamalan's movies outside of 'The Sixth Sense' & 'Unbreakable', with an excellent script and sublime performances. This comes most Highly Recommended on blu-ray!!!

A fantastic movie for all sci-fi lovers!,
This review is from: Signs [DTS] [DVD] (DVD)
If you find crop circles thought provoking, love the idea that other worldy creatures may be out there and enjoy watching Mel Gibson & Joaquin Phoenix - then you will love this movie, just like I do. It's a great film.
