  • I just re-watched Signs yesterday after what could be over a decade ago. This time I went in with the perspective of the very popular fan-theory that the aliens were demons the entire time. It really enhanced the movie for me and helped me appreciate the Reverend’s story more. The main theme of the movie should be on his story of believing again after the passing of her wife. The illogical actions of what’s considered very advanced aliens detracted from that and the overall movie suffered from this criticism. The theory of them being demons helped to alleviate and even enhance the movie for me and I enjoyed it far more upon re-watch.

    Just to be clear , I’m fairly sure Shyamalan’s intention wasn’t for them to be demons as there are a lot of inconsistencies for that to be true. But if you can look past those issues, the movie becomes far more enjoyable with its theme of faith.

    Fan theory for reference







  • it really depends, LOTR movies made significant changes but I still love it even if it’s not 100% like the books.

    Then there’s World War Z where all they did was use the title and some loosely based details. Still enjoyable but not a huge fan.

    Then there’s I Am Legend which I didn’t like at all as it didn’t match with the actual point of the story (the alternate ending wasn’t bad though but still left the bad taste in my mouth from the original ending).

    Thinking of doing exactly that. Watch the show and then enjoy the books .
