Signs

I thought it was great! im11, thought the movie was creepy, but not so that a mature enough kid couldnt hav watched it. It has very mild languge, nothing any one over the age of 10 hasnt heard b4. it was violent at some parts but not enough so that a 9 or 10 year old couldnt see. not for anyone 9& under. I watched it a month ago, rewatched it at 10 last night and had no trouble sleeping afterward. not for any one who gets scared easyily. i love scary movies! first time i watched it was scaryer and second time i watched it i almost cryed because its a sad movie. scary but not to much!

Let us start off by saying this is an excellently produced masterpiece with incredible acting by Mel Gibson and Rory Culkin. This movie both gave me the creeps and amazed me at the same time. There is not much to say about it other than this is one superb movie that you don't want to miss. However, there is some disturbing and somewhat frightening content and mature themes to it: -The corpse of a dog with a fork lodged in its neck is found by two small children; the scene is emotionally intense and quite disturbing. -A man cuts off three fingers off of an extra terrestrial; we briefly see its stubs and hear a harsh squeal. -The father believes that God has ignored his pleas for help and therefore does not wish for his children to believe in Christianity. When his two little kids want to pray for their dinner he revolts against it in an extremely harsh manner. The children scream and cry and he pounds the table, tears rolling down his face as well; it is not violent, but very emotional. -When the father and his children lock themselves up in the cellar, aliens attempt to get in. They start knocking on the floor and twisting the doorknob to create the illusion that they are trying to break through the front door while another sneaks through the back vent. In a jump scene, a greenish hand shoots out from the vent and grabs the son, attempting to pull him into the vent; this scene is accompanied by intense, eerie music. -The house is all barred up to prevent the invaders from getting into their house. When aliens are clearly present outside, they remember that they forgot to bring the dog inside. The scene is relatively intense/emotional; we hear the dog barking loudly for a few seconds and then a sickening crunch, followed by a silent whimper. -Near the end, an alien that had broken into their house lifts the son into its arms and excretes a toxic gas into his nostrils that evidently knocks him out. A man smashes a glass casing upon and retrieves a baseball bat and runs towards the alien, hitting it upside the head. There is an intense fighting scene in which ends with a glass of water smashing against its skin and melting through it like acid. Suggested MPAA Rating: Rated PG-13 for Thematic Material and Frightening Situations.

It is a little scary but I think my kids can watch but only the ones that are older than the age of 9. There is a little bit of launguage but if your kid has seen Independence Day or Edward Scissorhands than this movie is fine.

Signs is probably the scariest movie I've ever seen. It's actually not violent. The most graphic scene was when we see a knife sticking out of a dog, but the actual stabbing isn't shown. You see characters faces, but you rarely see what terrifies them. And that makes it all the scarier. The best part of this movie isn't the creepiness, (though Shymalan does an excellent job with it,) it's the message. This is, in many ways, a religious movie. (Shymalan isn't a Christian (too my knowledge,) but he does respect the idea of providence, which plays a large part in his thriller.) I think that that actually strengthens this film. It adds a whole lot of depth to the characters, and helps the story. I personally loved this movie, and think that it is worth seeing.
