Aliens Look Like... WHAT!! Our First Time Watching SIGNS (2002) Movie Reaction |Signs Reaction| 

Aliens… what do you guys think? Upon editing and the comments Mrs O realized she took the movie at face value and once she realized it wasn’t a movie to take that way, she changes her score to a 7. Also hit us with some Signs fun facts we love them! Please suggest more alien movies! Thanks for watching! www.patreon.com/theoctobers ❤

This movie isn't about aliens. They use aliens to tell a story about the two kinds of people. This movie is brilliant.

Remember, folks. The film was called Signs, not Alien Invasion. The point, purpose and narrative was to serve that. :-)

The director of the movie said he inspired himself of an old trauma he had when he was a kid. He said that one day he and his family came back from a trip to the mall and they found their front door open. His father went to check the house, but he found nothing wrong. Later his father told him that he was expecting inside a psychopath ready to kill him and that image gave him several nightmares. So that's the deal with the aliens and why we see them so little. We aren't afraid of them exactly, just the fact that we know they are out there watching and they are dangerous. That expectation of WHEN they are going to attack.

Part that got me the most was the hand coming through the air vent and grabs the little boy in the basement part.

I remember watching this movie in theaters. I've heard more gasps and screams in this movie than most modern scary movies. So glad you watched this before Scary Movie 3 as well, it has one of the funniest lines that parodies Signs 😂

For those whomay not have caught it, the part of Ray Reddy was played by the writer and director, M. Night Shyamalan. And, the part of Morgan Hess was played by Rory Culkin, Macaulay Culkin's (Home Alone) brother.

One of my favorite movies, and probably the most realistic in regards to actual aliens, is *Contact* based on the book written by world renowned astronomer, cosmologist, astrophysicist, astrobiologist, author, and professor Carl Sagan.

This movie is pure gold! A freaking masterpiece!! It's been so long since I seen it but I am happy to revisit this film. Great reaction yall! 👍🏽

I was surprised at your final comments about this movie not going philosophically deep enough. By the end of this film, I took from all of the things that lined up in the conclusion, that the movie was more about belief of existence of a higher spiritual power, than proof of alien life. That's the twist, and what the title "Signs" really meant to me. There is no bigger philosophical question, right? The alien takeover was simply the backdrop, and used on a very confined, smaller scale, of this family, to tell that story, I also thought the scares and tension were executed so perfectly . There is very little blood in the movie, but I remember the theater audience being on the edge of their seats!

This movie is one of the most well shot, well written Movies I will ever watch. The concepts in the movie are nothing new, very cliché- even dumb sounding at times, but I like how this movie kind of turned the whole alien invasion on his head. There wasn’t one, it was just focused on this one family alone in the country, with no real protection. And we never really got a good look at the thing until around the end, which was brilliant. The family dynamics were emotional and strong. The fact that the jump scares were underwhelming for the most part was cool too. It wasn’t a traditional horror film or alien film where the alien was popping up at random times with a terrifying face to scare the audience. All we see in the beginning is a leg in a corn field, and the shadowed figure at the birthday party- which is ten times scarier than anything we saw near the end. The music also aided to making things eerie. Repetitive and anxiety inducing. Reminds me of the similar repetitive piano riff in “Halloween” as Michael Myers slowly walks down the street at night.

I love the detail of Meryl saying "It felt wrong not to swing." when he was in the army recruitment office and explained why he had the minor league strikeout record. It was all leading up to him having the brute swinging strength to bludgeon the alien to death. Much like Bo having the "tick" about water for there to be glasses everywhere in the house. And like Morgan not only having asthma but having an ATTACK without his medication in order for his lungs to be closed off to avoid inhaling the poison. "Are you the type who sees signs, sees miracles?"

M Night is a lot like Hitchcock in the sense that he prefers suspense to jump scares. He will throw a few in but would rather you sat on the end of your seat not blinking. He also likes to poke his face in a few movies again like Hitchcock. Movies like "Sixth Sense", "Unbreakable" and "Lady in the Water" are about the build up instead of scaring you out of your chair.

That ONE scene. Just that ONE scene at the birthday party scarred me for lifeeeeeee. I love this movie but dang🫣

I love this movie! That said, it's not an alien movie, it's about signs. Maybe one that needs to be watched a few times to really get but enjoyed your reaction.

This isn't really an alien movie. It's a movie about a man who last his faith and regained it through a series of amazing "coincidences". The aliens were just the vehicle to help him move through his faith journey. My favorite Shyamalan movie.

I remember when crop circles began springing up in real life and people were all theorizing as to what or who it could be. The most fascinating thing about crop circles, is the way they're able to bend the stalks all the way to the ground without actually breaking them. They were perfectly bent, which was part of the extended confusion as to how it was even accomplished.

I was alone in the room and for a long time I could not understand who was snoring under my ear? Every time I took off my headphones, the snoring disappeared..😂

The "alien" look came from Allister Crowley, who summoned a demon he called Lam. A short time later that became the "alien" look.

He wasn't feeding it..he was probably making lunch when the alien arrived!

Yea as you can see from the comments just about everyone disagrees with that scoring. Lol such a great movie with great emotional scenes and great portrayal of faith, paranoia and love for family.

This movie is more about FAITH (or, what do you believe in?) than actual aliens. It's deeper than what it initially seems.

Your thumbnails are hilarious. My man looks like he's seen the inner workings of the universe and her expression is pure "Definitely doing pizza tonight for dinner." Your reactions are terrific!

😂😂😂 They showed the aliens just enough. If they showed more you would been complaining how fake it looked. In movies you have to also use your imagination. Their not gonna show you every little thing. Or answer ever question you have. This is a great movie. One of the best alien movies I've seen.

I know people always hate on the director but I love this movie

Love every M. Night film and the fact he always does a cameo in each film like many of the greats. Bo is too adorable and so in the know and Morgan is so smart. Def the kids were a huge part of their survival. Thanx so much, Peace

This movie was not about Aliens. It was about a religious awakening. And he accepted his wife's death had meaning. And they didn't board up for 1 alien. They were surrounded by a lot of Aliens that night. Did you not notice the alien in the home next day was missing fingers? (it's the one he cut and got left behind when the aliens fled Earth).

You should really check out 1977's 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind', directed by Steven Spielberg, if you haven't already seen it. It's an excellent film concerning alien encounters and not a "typical" alien/ufo movie.

My mom took me to see this at a drive in theater when she was stationed at Camp Shelby which probably isn’t opened anymore because of Katrina. It was weird being in the car, having to use the radio for audio but made it more comfortable and so much so she fell asleep within 5 minutes. Here I was slightly panicking if a creature would pass through the cars in the dark! Thanks Ma!

I think it's hilarious that they had you believing there is actually something wrong with the water.

I love the idea that the aliens came to our planet and were fought off with the help of God. And maybe our God is actually a higher level alien than the invading ones.

The part when Morgan has an asthma attack always got to me when i was a kid (and still does) because I have severe asthma 😢

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. This movie is a little silly now, but when I saw this in theaters, I was TERRIFIED for the first hour. The slow build up, the claustrophobic farm setting, it really really got me at the time, so I have to give it credit for that.

Metal hats (to block mind control rays) actually originated back in the late 1920s! It's a reference from a story I never read written by the brother of Aldous Huxley, who wrote BRAVE NEW WORLD, which is a tale I hold very dear.

Watching this movie in theaters traumatized my ass. I was convinced I was going to fine crop circles in my backyard despite having nicely mowed grass. 😂

This is the only movie where the two kids were praised for their incredible acting.😊

So I saw this in theaters with my friend, and I was her ride home. It was full dark when the movie let out, and we live in a rural area. Her parents' farmhouse was in the middle of a cornfield. As in, drive up the long driveway surrounded by corn and the whole yard is surrounded by corn. We sat in the driveway a full 10-15 min before we ran in the house. Then I had to go home after, and I lived next door!

The "U" in UFO does not stand for Alien it stands for unidentified which could be anything. Sometimes I think people are just bored and they want to create some kind of drama in order to get through their day-to-day lives.

its good to see another point of view and that what your reaction did for me on this movie i wouldnt say it was good or bad just different. im heavyly into this kind of stuff and movies i liked a lot are roswell and contact you might find them more to your likeing.

You guys HAVE TO watch the based on a true story called FIRE IN THE SKY. It is so friggin good and it was a real incident that happened to some loggers up in the mountains. And also Steven Spielberg epic movie called Close Encounters of the Third Kind, and also his small tv series 10 episodes(I think) its really epic, starting around WWII and goes into the future where we are now, And don't forget the most scary of them all. Based on a real story this one as well-. The Fourth Kind(bring diapers). Good Luck. Start with: FIRE IN THE SKY.

Since you asked... I think the UAP stuff that's been reported more and more is something we'll know more about soon. My instinct is that it's not human technology. And if it is... it's not from this time period. But I'm very curious and open to whatever data is presented.

When i see 3000 year old Egyptian paintings depicting a being with a helmet in a craft in the air, I believe we’re being watched. If they were hostile, we’d already be done for.

Bo leaving the glasses of water everywhere couldn't have had anything to do with the aliens though; she was doing that before the new crop circles appeared. They were just lucky that she did that.

37:13 - sis they're in a rush for time. They didn't think the aliens would come that quickly.

39:01 - no - the deleted scenes have them temporarily putting a baracade against the attic door, with a china or a bookcase.

Movie is not about aliens, its about feith and signs from god. He lost his feith becouse his wife died, but she before death saw the future and warned them of events.

One of my all time favorite movies! I think you two should also watch The Village!

CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND (1977) Steven Spielberg There is a line in the film that says, “It’s like Halloween for grownups”! I grew up in the deep woods with no lights at night but the stars and the moon. It’s scary as get out. The fear was real. This film made the terror of extraterrestrials 10 times worse. But of course, it’s a Spielberg film! The best part of “Signs” is the score. I’ve choreographed my dance troupe to this music. M. Night S.’s films always have a good premise, but always leaves you empty. Like it’s not completely thought out. So I agree with your ratings. For “Close Encounters”, get ready for that number to go UP!

Gravity was overcome by defense contractors in October of 1954. It has been kept from us. He who has it has power. It's at Skunk Works.

The leaps of 'logic' you guys make are more entertaining than the movie.

The meme you thought you recalled with the boy shining a flashlight in his face is actually from The Sixth Sense. Another movie from M Night. Only movie I’ve ever seen that as soon as it ended, I wanted to watch again.

I talked to someone that worked at UIL labs. They had a Tesla type name 100 years ago. This person said a Tesla prototype weapon was fired into central Russia. To this day, nothing grows in the immediate area!

lol hell yeah you brought up hecklefish. I was one original subscribers to the why files lol. But yes the tin foil hat thing was a thing before signs. It came from a short story written in like 1927 I believe

Lmao a Hoof or a Toe

This is M. Nights masterpiece... Followed closely by Split..

I've been y'all's fan for a hot minute , but the minute I heard Mrs. O say why files, me and my girlfriend realized y'all were the legit itz.... AJ and Hecklefish are bomb.

Yeah, this movie isn't about aliens..it's about faith...the real questions we should be asking is grander than are aliens out there. It's meant to make us all think about the real deeper questions about our life, our creator, and life's journey. We saw how terrible it was for the Father to face extraordinary circumstances with no faith, even his family clearly saw it. Sadly many ppl are more concerned about the abstract more than the spiritual. If you removed the entire alien angle from the movie, would ppl even want to really sit down and deeply think about the message here? But you throw in aliens, werewolves, horror, etc, ppl will sit threw that for hours on end.

This is a 10…. It’s a deep movie… you two didn’t get it…

The movie is from the POV of normal people with no access to the Big Picture. I live in a town not much larger than this though it’s rural Western Pennsylvania instead of Eastern. Y’all have a stereotypical view of country folk. We have schools and internet. We don’t have pitchforks. Lol A good movie similar in some ways to “Signs” is “Battle: Los Angeles.” “War of The Worlds,” and “Independence Day” are also fun.

Now that you know what you know after a while, you should watch it again, it has a whole different experience❤

We had the best time as Lil kids playing hide & seek in our Uncle's corn fields.

12:40 It's like chess, all pieces work together and separated at the same time...Watch the bigger picture always...

The alien in Brazil moves just like the film clips of Bigfoot.

I loved this movie. I watched it so many times. Tin foil hat happened decades before. It just meant you were crazy.

If you didn't notice, the alien in the end is the same one of whose fingers he chopped off

47:50 Merill has a veritable arsenal at his disposal.

No propulsion is never gonna stay hidden, as soon as its operational some army is gonna have it

I also like Steven Spielberg's War of the Worlds. it has some problems but its bloody intense, and the special effects look amazing

I AM NOT A PSYCHIATRIST! But there is something distinctly wrong with a person who watches a horror or drama movie and LAUGHS at all the worst times! GET HELP Mrs October. Peace out...

This format and listening to you talking about it is so comforting.

Btw crop circles are made by farmers childern here in Oxfordshire - with rope and planks of wood.

23:46 i'd be an instant believer. 👽

Yall completely missed the point.....this is a 8 or 9 out of 10. This is a thinking man's movie...not a Marvel movie.

For a really fun alien film try finding 'The McPherson Tape' - found footage alien abduction on a farm in the middle of nowhere. Super lower budget but enough to make you scared of being alone in the dark for a while - but equally hilarious too.

Only because you asked if we disagree. So yes I highly disagree! This is basically what happens in a small town when the world is being invaded. So movies like independence Day show what's happening in the big city .this movie shows the invasion happening in a small town. This is one of my favorite movies !

the little boy, Morgan, is actually MacCauley Culkin's brother...

So everything, was meant to be, including him marrying her, becoming a preacher, Ray killing his wife, Morgan having bad asthma, the water, all of it!😮😮

just a counter to what you wre saying. i live in an area where no one has seen any ufo'os or uap's, SO NO ITS NOT EVERYWHERE. BUT THIS MOVIE IS AMAZING.

Hehe. So glad you too are a fan of Hecklefish.🤭

1:28 "Nicholas Tesli" 🙂

I love this movie. I get excited everytime someone reacts to it. Of course I believe in aliens. We would be considered aliens to life on other planets. Why would we be the only life in the whole entire universe. It's almost arrogant to even think that. I comments kind of hinted that you didn't like the movie so that ruined the watch for it. This is such a great movie. Sucks you guys didn't enjoy.

Would have been better if immediately upon them killing Isabelle the dog, John Wick rolls up and begins smoking the aliens with an absolute arsenal of guns & incendiaries.

there wasnt one alien who attacked the house at the end there was many

You can soo tell the lady has seen it before.

Watch The Fourth Kind, that's a creepy movie on the theme!

You both should check "The Ring" its a classic 2002 horror movie.

The guy who killed the mom was the town veterinarian

Scientists speculate that if aliens are out there, they wouldnt look anything like we imagine. The film Arrival is more on that level.

Odd that a superior intelligence that can be killed by water would want to invade a planet that is 3/4 water, plus, a significant water presence in the atmosphere.

What people frequently forget about how intellectually advanced beings are not able to get out of a locked room, is because they have (theoretically) advanced beyond that. For instance, we may know that rubbing two sticks together can make a fire, that doesn't mean most people can 'make a fire'. An alien might know that you 'turn' a doorknob, but if the doors locked......

Fire in the sky 1993 , dark skies 2013, the fourth kind 2009.

I've heard of "tin foil" hats ages ago but never looked them up until today, Here's what I found on Wikipedia. "Vice Magazine wrote that the tin foil hat in popular culture "can be traced back in a very weird and prescient short story written in 1927 by Julian Huxley" titled "The Tissue-Culture King", wherein the main character uses a metal hat to prevent being mind controlled by the villain scientist."

Moral of this movie…….. water is your friend

Here is my response to your questions 1) people who speculate that the universe is so big that there must be aliens fail to also recognize that life even at is most rudimentary level is so complicated it is seemingly impossible for it to have occurred by accident. So it is reasonable to assume the universe had to be so big to allow for the odds to be favorable of just one example of life to arise. The more therefore that you speculate of more than one example of life to have evolved the more you have to fall back on the necessiity of an intelligence to have creted it. As for me I doubt there are any other examples of life in the universe. And I've seen nothing yet to sway me from that opinion. Because as they say, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence to back them up. And that extraordinary evidence has never been presented, only hearsay and circumstantial evidence that is easily discounted. But I'm open to being wrong. 2) I recall hearing of tinfoil hats long before SIGNS, like back in the '70s I think. But I don't recall where. 3) The aliens are weird and strangely inept given how technologically superior they supposedly are because M. Knight was making use of them as a metaphor. They represent the demonic, or perhaps fear. And the cure for both is faith which is represented by water. It is not a good metaphor but it still works to get his point across, faith is better than fear because people of faith have the added benefit of providential signs to steer them in the right direction. Preachy I know but without an unsderstanding of that underlying message and watching the movie strictly as a typical sci-fi, it doesn't make a lot of sense. 4) Your ignorance of M' Knight Shyamalan suggests you need to see his hands down best movie THE SIXTH SENSE. It is the movie that put him on the map. 5) Enjoyed your reaction and I am now a subscriber.

Well if this current House of Representatives brought in a witness on extra-terrestrial life, it must be legit *cough* *cough*

This movie is amazing whaaaaat. 😫😫😫 you should try dark skies :)

Shyamalan's films always have something to do with man's relationship with Jesus. The scene in the basement where Morgan is having a crisis and Graham is holding him and talking him through it, is a reflection of Jesus holding and comforting any of us going through a crisis. Psalm 139 declares God's omniscience and also his complete intimacy with each of us. The Psalm declares that He is always, ALWAYS with you.

Is that little girl Olive from Little Miss Sunshine??

If you guys like alien stuff, Nope (2022) is a good one with a different approach.

3:35 probably an ancient alien.
