  1. I rate this title iffy for age 11 and give it 4.0
    My concerns are:
    • Excessive violence
    • Inappropriate language

    good for kids 11 to 13 because of violence and language

    i think it is a good movie because it is scary, but not too scary. there is only a little bit of violence where an alien gets cut with a knife and a car crash. it is pretty scary, there is some parts that could give kids nightmares, and there is some bad words in it that come up at random moments. it is a good horror movie but kids might get bored by some of the talking.

    Great movie, M. Night pulls out another winner!

    This movie is high on peril and scariness, but also on plot and story. It is a much better alien invasion movie then I've ever seen. You don't know anymore than the characters do, which makes for a really tense atmosphere. Instead of following the entire world's problems, it follows one family through the events that happen. Due to the scariness, I suggest that noone under 13 see this. Even 13 year olds will find this movie to be scary, although that is why it will apeal to them.

    An excellent, but very intense movie!

    Signs is one of my favorite alien invasion movies, and it is also one of the most scariest I've ever seen. Though there is little violence or gore, the feel of the movie keeps your heart elevated for nearly the whole movie. Sensitive 11 or 12 and 13 year olds should not watch this movie, and even non sensitive ones will find this movie scary. I reccomend this movie to kids 12 or 13 and up who like movies with tension

    A great Sc-fi film.....

    I have never been a fan of sci-fi films, but this one I enjoyed. Then again, I have always loved my alien films. :)

    13+

    This is a great movie, but it has some very, very scary scenes. There is also some moderate language, and one brief s**ual joke. Not reccomended for children under 13.

    about right for tweens.

    I think it's iffy for age nine. I first saw one of the scarier parts when I was about six or seven and it scared me out of my socks. Then I saw it at age nine, all the way through, and loved it!

    Stay away from the little ones when watching it.

    Well I watched this when I was REALLY little like 5. It scarred the heck out of me. I had nightmares. I watched it again like a year ago I watched again. It was good! Just don't be around the little kids when you watch it.

    M. Night Shyamalan pulls out another winner with Signs. This movie is so powerful, so emotional, so awesome in general that I cry every time I see it! It does have some scary moments but that is another thing that makes it so great! I love this movie, and it is... oh, words cannot describe. M. Night is my favorite filmaker of all time. If you liked this then be sure to check out his hit: "The Sixth Sense" and my personal favorite which gets me sobbing because I love it so much and it is my #1 movie of all time: "The Village."

    Meh...

    This movie was an okay movie. I felt that the story should have more at the end. There were a few scenes that made me scream but not becuase it was scary but because it was sudden. I'd say 10 year olds and below will probably be frightened but anything above that should be a no problem.

    Great movie for teens!

    Overall, it is a good film. I really enjoyed it, the music is excellent, and the scariness is right at that level or suspense. It is not a horror movie. It has a good story, a good plot. However, some teens might find parts of it boring. Most of the movie is shot in the house and it can get quite scary, but a great story, not some trashy horror flick. One of M. Night Shaylaman's best.

    Very good, but not scary at all

    I don't know why everyone says Shyamalan's movies are scary. They are excellent, but never scary. If you want scares, look elsewhere. If you want a good movie, here it is.

    exciting and periless but it may really scare you.

    Just as many of M. night Shamolayn's movies I like them a lot. He is a great Director. Though he does not get enough credit. This movie is another one by him and may scare you just like his other ones. Signs is exciting but you may find it disturbing or dumb. I thought it was good atleast. This movie is alot like the Birds. had some very cleaver things done.

    Creepy and Scary

    I rented this movie and watched it with my friend (because I didn't want to be stuck watching such a scary movie all by myself). It was great! It's not as scary as everyone described it but it's still pretty scary. I was covering my eyes leaving a crack to watch for a tenth of the time! This is very entertaining. It keeps you on the edge of your seat!

    Good movie

    This was a cool movie. I don't see why it's rated yellow, unless tha'ts for 6 year olds or something. It wasn't all that intense. Mel Gibson did a good job.

    Signs is yet again another masterpiece by M. Night Shyamalan. This movie inspires terror and emotion. The fact that there might be extraterrestrial life is both scary and amazing. Mel Gibson makes a good father to those two kids.

    a movie with deep roots

    Signs is a homage to many of the fallowing films and literary works: War of the Worlds, The Birds, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Night of the living Dead. With the possible exeption of The Birds, it's better then all of them.
