Goofs:
Plot holes: It is mentioned in the movie that the aliens are harmed by water. Surely then the water vapor in the air would've done some considerable damage to them?

Quotes:
Graham Hess:
We're going to board up every window in this house.
Merrill: How do you know boards will do anything?
Graham Hess: Because they seem to have trouble with pantry doors.

FAQ
Why crop circles? Don't aliens have GPS?Could an extraterrestrial species with an intolerance for water actually exist?
I'm still not buying it. Why would anyone come to a deliberately hostile environment that could eventually kill them?

I am a huge Shyamalan fan: I loved "The Sixth Sense" and "Unbreakable." I can now add "Signs" to the list, and not just because it's one of his films. It's because it portrays its story and characters in a way that won't let me forget them. This particular film has all of the essential elements: humor, adventure, suspense and most of all, soul. The family element (as in all three of the above mentioned films) is so strong it made me want to hug my kids and get on my knees and talk to God. It rekindled my faith in God, family, mankind and in good films. Awesome.
