Yeah this alien fucked me up as a kid, this movie was absolutely wild
Like yeah the twist was a little dumb but Signs was a great movie overall. Tension for the whole family. I really enjoyed it.
I'm sorry but the 'swing away' line is silly and I make fun of it every time I think of it
That's kind of the point, the juxtaposition of a silly line during a serious moment.
I read somewhere that they weren't aliens, they were demons, and the water only worked because it was blessed, so it became holy water. What a twist!
The whole movie is a Christian allegory. It's probably one of the reasons Mel Gibson was in it.
They called the little girl an angel more than once.
Also see where he locked one in a closet and it couldn't get out. Don't know if that's a demon thing or not, but he couldn't see it's reflection in the knife.

That scene gave me chills, and still does even when I know it's coming.
