Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)

M. Night Shyamalan's "Signs" is the work of a born filmmaker, able to summon apprehension out of thin air. When it is over, we think not how little has been decided, but how much has been experienced. ...read the complete Signs movie review at Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)

Film Threat, Hollywood's Indie Voice

Landing in from Planet expectation, the new sci-fi blockbuster from Sixth Sense wonderboy M.Night Shyamalan, Signs comes packed with pre-conceived notion and an instantaneous mêlée against the director's previous, commended, writing/directing efforts. ...read the complete Signs movie review at Film Threat, Hollywood's Indie Voice

filmcritic.com (Christopher Null)

Crop circles: real or hoax? M. Night Shyamalan (of the masterful The Sixth Sense and the iffy Unbreakable) stabs at answering that question in the quite good Signs, inspired by patterns found in the cornfields of Pennsylvania. ...read the complete Signs movie review at filmcritic.com (Christopher Null)

Movie Addict (John Ulmer)

One of the most powerful, deeply moving thrillers in years...I wasn't a huge fan of The Sixth Sense , but Signs creates a newfound appreciation for M. Night Shyamalan for me......read the complete Signs (2002) review at Movie Addict (John Ulmer)

Daily-Reviews.com (Shay Casey)

If Signs doesn't quite reach the heights it attempts to scale, what it does accomplish is nothing to sneeze at. Plenty of movies fail to generate even one scary scene, but Shyamalan has a whole bunch to spare. Once his artistic maturity catches up to...read the complete Signs (2002) review at Daily-Reviews.com (Shay Casey)

Los Angeles Times (Kenneth Turan)

As they used to say in the 1950s sci-fi movies, Signs is a tribute to Shyamalan's gifts, which are such that we'll keep watching the skies for his next project....read the complete Signs (2002) review at Los Angeles Times (Kenneth Turan)

Christian Science Monitor (David Sterritt)

It's encouraging to see Hollywood tackle themes of faith and religion, but here, too, Shyamalan is timid, reducing them to fuzzy New Age clichés. Add wooden acting, stilted dialogue, and a faux-arty style, and you have a thudding disappointment....read the complete Signs (2002) review at Christian Science Monitor (David Sterritt)

Village Voice (Jessica Winter)

The raw art of the malapropism has rarely been so extensively honored, but the increasingly strident, slapstick-smacked movie runs out of steam once the culture shock wears off....read the complete Signs (2002) review at Village Voice (Jessica Winter)
