Mojo got Signs all wrong. The water was not the twist, all though it wasn’t a layup, there were “signs” of that coming the entire movie. MNS didn’t really hide that at all. The real twist in SIGNS is his faith in god, and his wife’s final worlds to him. She said “swing away Merrel”, leading Rev Graham to to question his path. He believes god let him down because the last words his dying wife mouthed to him were about a memory of Merrel playing baseball as a kid. As if her brain Malfunctioned in her bleeding out, dying moments. He felt slighted by god, and turned in to a closet atheist. Turns out, god, and his wife saved their lives when Graham realized that the only immediate useful weapon in the house was Merrel a baseball bat. The water was let of the twist... but the best scene in the movie is when Graham tells Merrel that there is no god and that there is NO ONE looking out for them. Then there is.

I don’t see the twist where The Last Airbender wasn’t actually any good.

The Signs plot twist is actually the fact that the wife was killed by the aliens.

If anyone saw Devil, who agrees that the twist was actually Logan Marshall-Green was the one who actually killed Chris Messina's family

The Village stands to this day, 16 years after first watching it, my favorite movie of all time. The people who have a difference of opinion about it is fine, but to simply judge because they were “misled” by the original story line they made up in their head due to the trailer, is ignorant. Give appreciation and respect where it is due. And listen to the people who agree that revisiting this movie after the first time is a totally different experience because you are made to understand the actual story for what it is. .

I think your wrong about The Happening in that the plants didn't cause it, aliens did... as at the end of the movie the shot ends looking at the sky.

I think people are too hard on the Signs twist because they are allergic to water and Earth is mostly water, but the moon doesn’t have oxygen and we visit the moon. So I don’t see it as a big deal.

Bruh the ending for signs ruined the movie. Why would aliens allergic to water invade a planet mostly made of water
