'm.night shyamalan' does write some unusal material, 'signs' being no exception.
in this film a series of 'crop-circles' begin to alarm people, when sightings are filmed of strange beings along with 'lights' from u.f.o' craft hang over the sky's it becomes increasinly apparent an alien invasion is on the way ?
the film follows one family's expierience of events, former priest 'graham hess' along with his two children and brother.
as events and sightings around them become more intense they try to shut out what's happening around them.
'mel gibson' and 'joaqin phoenix' lead the cast list.
i enjoyed the film on each of the now three occasions i've seen it, starting at the cinema when first released.
the 'blu-ray' picture and sound quality is good.

In my opinion this is a much richer film than Shyamalan's "The Sixth Sense" as you glean more and more from it from repeated viewings. Yes, the basic plot line is faintly ridiculous but the director is so adept at building a sense of dread and unease, and then unleashing some quick shock moments, that it's easy to overlook the silliness and enjoy this for just being a compelling, often amusing and really rather frightening film. What is often overlooked however is that it's also a very searching account of one man's loss of faith and of a small family trying to heal itself after an appalling tragedy.

It's a treat to have it on Blu-ray - some lovely deep dark blacks - but for my money, it's mainly to crank up the volume and revel in James Newton Howard's wondrous score.

Great transfer to blu ray. Great film. I love it. The colors are very rich indeed.
