I should explain myself here...."Alien" is a far better movie, but what makes a perfect alien flick for me is the approach. When it makes you feel it close to you and puts the aliens in our environment instead of putting us in a hostile, unknown alien environment. "Signs" had no huge spaceships, no laser beam fights, no CGI all around.... instead it had tinfoil paper helmets and vhs footage in a remote children's birthday party. And the suspense was very well built and developed. I have yet to know somebody who wasn't scared shitless with the 'they're inside the house' scene.


That said, I'm a bit ambivalent about the aliens showing in the end. Still not sure whether I liked that or not.
