Signs

I really cannot emphasize how great this film is. From the first frame to the last, Shyamalan captures every essence of the word unsettling. Every scene is meticulously planned and there is not a single dull moment. Shyamalan takes campy-looking aliens and makes them feel sinister and unrelenting to the audience.  The development of Graham’s character from a broken non-believer who blames God for his misfortunes to a relinquished man who realizes the placement of non-coincidental Signs is just writing at its peak.  I’ve seen this film at least 5 times and manage to find a new detail in every single viewing, this is M. Night’s best work and I’m tired of acting like it’s not. He successfully takes an overdone concept of Alien Invasion and makes it into a terrifying story of the philosophy of faith and family.
