Mr. Rohr Kudos to M Night Shyamalan.

So many "suspense" films are cookie cutter cheap scares. You can usually see what's going to happen next. What Lies Beneath, for instance. But not Signs. This was a great movie. It had a good plot, good acting, and a real scary edge to it. It was very well done. Shyamalan even did a good job acting in it. This movie has laughs, drama, and it even got me to jump a few times. Which was a nice change. There were parts you kind of knew what was going to happen but it didn't happen that way. As in The Sixth Sense, Shyamalan got his point across without too much swearing or violence. It left things to the imagination and didn't put unnecessary images or words in the picture. I highly recommend this movie. There aren't many good shows to pick from this summer, so take advantage of this one.
