I'm seeing a lot more praise for this film in recent years (rightfully so, IMO), versus the sort of _"meh"_ reception it got around the time it was released. As I think another commenter pointed out, I think people were expecting a different kind of film. And now it can be appreciated on its own merits.
Which is weird because when it came out it was #1 for 3 weeks in the theaters. People loved it as I remember. Then on video and M. Night missteps I think people tried shitting on it. Now it has the appreciation again.
I saw this is theaters when I was a teen and it’s probably the most freaked out I’ve ever been with a movie. Doesn’t help that I live right next to a cornfield and their in an attic door right above my old bedroom.
Part of the problem is once you have a movie like The Sixth Sense, then everyone is looking for that type of ending. The Sixth Sense caught everyone off guard and it's a mind-blowing twist. Now everyone picks at every detail of Shyamalan's movies trying to guess the twist. Plus, Signs is a very different type of movie and the twist doesn't change everything about the movie you just watched. I think for those reasons people thought it was a dud. For me, all the symbolism in Signs and how Shyamalan tells the story makes it a much more satisfying movie altogether. For example, once you watch Sixth Sense, watching it again makes it a very different movie. You can watch Signs multiple times and find more signs and themes in it. It's one of my comfort movies......I just love everything about it.
I don't know if you go back to see if new comments come in, but here goes... Shyamalan was born in India, his family moved to the US when he was 6 wks old. He grew up in Pennsylvania, attending first a Catholic grade school, then an Episcopalian college, so he was aways the "outsider", even looked down upon by teachers. Signs was filmed in Pennsylvania; the 1st day of filming was the day after 9/11, & they held a memorial before rolling cameras. Recall one of the planes, likely the one headed for the Capitol Bldg or the White House, was brought down in a Pennsylvania field. The scene where Ray is getting ready to drive off leaving the alien in his pantry was shot just after Shyamalan's grandfather had passed away, while things were still in process for Shyamalan's family. It's no wonder Shyamalan produced such a sober and respectful story, with family at the heart. The big deal about Shyamalan's films is that he was accused of being the moviemaker who made films with the ridiculous weird twist, like it was shtick. I don't think people really got what he was doing. Shyamalan didn't do mysteries, horror films, etc; he makes spiritual movies. The content is about spiritual matters. Yeah, he might use genres Americans are familiar with, but he was in a way telling parables. Rod Serling did the same thing, writing screenplays for the Twilight Zone that used science fiction or time travel or ghosts or war or even cultural depictions (there are several episodes set in Appalachia), but a bigger story was told dressed in those styles. Serling came back from WWII having seen horrible things, so wrote episodes of Twilight Zone as a platform for what he wanted to say. Shyamalan does the same in the way only an outsider can in reflecting human beings back at themselves. No, Shyamalan doesn't stick a twist into the genre of movie he makes; he tells a story that's fully present from the start but lets it inhabit a genre to make it palatable to Americans. Sixth Sense was not a ghost movie. Signs is not a monster/SciFi movie. Unbreakable is not a superhero movie. But they speak to something beyond our definitions of "reality" at the same time they are recognized as familiar, even with the unexpected twist.
So emotional... the acting... the direction. Very long shots. When the father lost hope and was scared he became aggressive for a moment, them they hugged and shared the love. I strongly suggest M. Night Shyamalan movies, specially The Village and Lady of the Water.
Growing up this was one of my favorite movies. It was nice seeing someone react to it. It did have great acting. The best part of this movie in my opinion was the concept that everything had a purpose. The brother losing his job was so he could be with them, and have his bat on the wall. The daughters problem with water was for the alien. The son’s asthma kept him safe from the poison. The wife died to tell the brother to swing away (which is why he lost his job and how they remembered the bat). So many things like that! I love movies that come full circle.
I really liked everyone's performance in this one. Overall it wasn't received as well because lot of people were expecting a big twist at the end, but now that some time has passed, it's easier to appreciate the film's story on its own merits instead of comparing it to other Shymalan movies. Definitely recommend "The Sixth Sense" as the (excellent) film that made Shyamalan and Haley Joel Osment household names. While it's got suspense and some scary bits, the horror element is much more subtle and thought-provoking, and the story's driven by very likable characters. And then there's another great HJO movie, Spielberg's "A.I."
It wasn't that people were expecting a twist that the movie wasn't received well, it was that the plot was overall a little dopey. It's basically about a man rediscovering his faith in the Christian God, and a science fiction movie that's anti-science (or at least ignorant of it). I've heard a lot of criticism for this movie over the years and its never once been about a perceived lack of a twist in the end.
@@sleepcrime M. Night Shyamalan movies get so much much hate from critics that even people who aren't movie buffs have jumped onto the bandwagon and it's come to the point that almost all of his movies are universally shit on. I get that art is subjective but the amount of hate his movies getj in particular is so confusing to me. They're well made, good production value, great casting/acting and anyone who says this dude makes horrible movies are simply haters who watched the Sixth Sense and feel like he hasn't lived up to his potential. P.S. The Village is one that gets shit on and is such a fun watch for me...check it out with your family, Akima:).
Thats not true. Signs had a great reception Shymaln was praised and all actors in the movie as well. I remember it was number 1 in box office for a month straight and made almost half a billion box office which was insane in 2002. It was a huge success and audience and critics praised it. The only people saying it wasnt well received were people not born or too young or simply not educated on movies at that time
This is the first time one of your reactions really got me to tears. “Dad, what happened? Did someone save me?” Kimmy: (in tears) Yeah, your momma did… Wow. I’ve never thought of it in this way. I’ve always interpreted that it could mean Graham saved him, or Graham is thinking now of maybe how God did or “someone” or some force out there did save him. But Kimmy is spot on and I’ve never thought of it… to think that maybe in some way, if not coincidence, that their mum’s last words were the words she gave them to help save them. To think that even though she died and her death broke their family, that she didn’t leave without giving them something that would save them all is so powerful. And I guess this got me more emotional than the idea of Graham or some higher power saving them because I think it speaks just so much to the power of a mother’s love, of their care to protect but also their unique and special intuition for others. To think that her last instincts, while non-sensical at the time, were in some intuitively driven way linked to something that was in service of protecting her family is god damned heartwarming and beautiful. Amazing reaction! 💙
The daughter actress is in a couple of good movies, Zombieland and Little Miss Sunshine. I would recommend, Running Scared with Billy Crystal is you want to see a more comedic version of Lethal weapon.
One of my favourite movies of all time: so personal, so funny, so scary, so hopeful. An introspecting tale, that hit hard in the fellings... this movie, Unbreakable, Split, Glass, The Sixth Sense, Lady in Water and The Village,are the proves that, even with HUGE MISTAKES in his career (The Last Airbender, After Earth) M. Night Shyamalan is one of the best writers and directors from the last 2 decades. Nice reaction like!
I live with a cornfield 50 yrds from my house. As a kid my brothers would play the songs from this movie to terrify me. This movie is one of my favorites of all time now. I love all of the themes, and the deep story hidden inside an alien thriller.
I never clicked something so fast 😂 one of my all time favourite films. So awesome you reacted to it! You should watch M. Night’s The Village next!! Joaquin Phoenix also stars in this~
I love this movie, I think the directing and acting were masterful. There are so many little details you catch with multiple viewings. Even the title “Signs” has a double meaning. The crop circles and lights, etc. are the surface level signs, but the deeper meaning comes from the signs of fate and miracles that Graham realizes throughout the film, culminating in his epiphany at the end when he realizes the meaning of “swing away” and that Morgan’s asthma is what saved him from the poison. My favorite detail is in the beginning when the dog pees on the floor, Morgan says he’s sick, and Graham says to call the Dr. and Morgan says he doesn’t treat animals. Graham just says, “he’ll know what to do.” Later, when Graham goes to visit Ray, you see the mailbox with his name and it says Veterinarian. Graham didn’t want to see the Vet because it’s the man responsible for his wife’s death.
Aliens: Hey - let's invade that planet that is 70% covered in the stuff that kills us. Let's start at the place where the stuff regularly falls from the sky. Let's do it in small groups and let's do it naked!
It's possible they are just travelling nomads/scavengers just passing by our system on a whim... and didn't really do any major planning as such. They just saw a quick opportunity etc for resources and took it, not realizing how dangerous the planet or its populace really were.
@@ulysses2162 Environment suits. Raincoats. Hell, T-shirts. Any kind of protective clothing on the planet that's full of acid would be the least you could expect from a space faring species that is allergic to water, of all things.
@Jona I still think they were desperate. They were smart enough to stay away from bodies of water, but that doesnt mean they knew it falls from the sky too. Maybe they used up all of the resources on their planet. It said in the movie that they came to harvest humans. Maybe this was an attempt to gather food and go back home.
The "Signs" didn't refer to the crop circles. This isn't an alien movie, it's a film about a Preacher's faith. Joaquin was a failure as a baseball player, but he wasn't given that power for baseball. He would use it to save his nephew. The little girl drank lots of water so that one day Joaquin could use it to save the boy. He was given asthma to protect his lungs from the alien's poison, all these things are "signs" that point to something more.
thank you.. thats the whole point of the movie. im so sad that more people dont seem to be picking up on that. gibsons character even says someone saved them.
This movie really rewards repeat viewings. Watching it again I noticed the dust outline of the cross on Merrill's wall, suggesting he took it down after his wife's death. Or how Merrill says he'll call Dr. Crawford about their dog, Houdini, and Morgan says "he doesn't treat animals," because Merrill wouldn't call the vet since he was the person who hit his wife. Or that both times the alien's "talking" was heard, the whole family was touching. Movies like this are what it's all about!
I think objectively The Exorcist is still the best horror film ever made, and in the top 10 movies of all time for me. But subjectively, this film chilled me more than any other. I’m from the UK but I saw this for the first time at a cinema in Florida and had no idea what the film was about. It genuinely terrified me! So glad you’ve done a reaction to this; thanks 🙂
For 20 years I've had the idea that these aliens didn't plan this attack. They were going somewhere else and they just happened to stumble upon our planet, scouted out for a couple days and decided to launch a quick attack. That would explain why they weren't prepared for the water.
the theory behind this movie is that the aliens aren't hostiles, you never saw anyone get attack, only one guy got injured but becoz he ran from one, and like when the alien vaporize something on the kid, its meant to heal him, so the whole movie is like a lesson on not to judge from the look and all that stuff (its more detailed on the web im just lazy)
Guy in the car is the Director M. Night Shyamalan. He places himself in his films a lot. Honestly, looking back at this film its like an all star cast now. Gibson, Phoenix, Culkin, Breslin. All well known.
Good reaction ladies, you guys do know that with crop circles they have determined that some are man made but there are many many that have baffled scientists as far as how they were made. Very complex geometric patterns that are literally perfect down to the millimeter. They also cannot determine how the crops are laid flat without breaking the stalks, with corn fields, and with other fields the crops are not permanently damaged, and with boards and ropes that would not be possible.
I hadn't realised that the wee girl was Abigail Breslin. This film has become a bit of a classic. I know there is no redeeming Mel now but what an actor he is. Joaquins star has risen as far as Mels has fallen in intervening years.
I used to watch this so much back in the day with my mom and aunt. I honestly forgot who was all in it. Maybe I'll rewatch it sometime soon. Great reactions as always.
I actually really liked this one since I was a lil kid, a home invasion by aliens really freaked me out back then. I do believe it is an underrated film from Shyamalan, better than his later-2000s work.
Great reaction! Love this movie! I notice new things every time I watch it, like how the news cast says that the aliens left quickly leaving their wounded behind - hence the desperation and vicious attack of the alien at the end. I also love how we see Meryl struggling with purpose and considering leaving the farm at the recruitment office. Subscribed! Have a great day!
A tremendously underrated movie and it's been bizarrely criticised over the years I've noticed when the name of the movie has cropped up on movie forums and other websites I've noticed. I've been a big movie fan for thirty years and this is up there in my top few movies personally. Great reaction.
I loved the red hair girl real reaction! :) It was like be back in time with my first reaction when I saw this movie :))) I actually cried with her :) thankYouVerymuch
I had a feeling this movie was destined to become a cherished classic when I saw it back when it was new. The pacing, (some of) the acting and dialogue, the epic climax, the music.. all way too good to not eventually be appreciated.
I hated this movie as a kid because my mom picked it up from the store when it first hit dvd and my mom told me not to watch it without her because its gonna scare me and i was like no so she was like ok go ahead then and when the part with the alien on tape part came up when the alien walked by the small opening got me so shook i started to cry and turn it off and my mom was like see i told you lesson learned but now i love this movie
This movie scared the piss out of me. I saw it in the theater when first came out. I thought it was going to be about mysterious signs showing up in crop fields and that’s it. My stomach was in knots for several hours after the movie.
I love this movie. It gets ignored when put up next to the sixth sense and unbreakable but to me, every bit of the 3rd act is so emotional and powerful
I WILL NEVER FORGET GETTING TO GET MY MOM TO TAKE MY BROTHER AND I TO THE DRIVE IN TO SEE THIS...SHE WAS TERRIFIED BUT SHE HAD SO MUCH FUN WITH US!! SHE IS SCARED OF CERTAIN LIFETIME MOVIES AND WAS SCARED OF THE MUNSTERS WHEN SGHE WAS GROWING UP IF THAT TELLS YOU ANYTHING...BUT SOMEHOW SHE MANAGED TO SURVIVE THE ENTIRE MOVIE THANK GOD! I don’t think I’ve ever had more fun in movie going experience...Maybe seeing Twister at that same Drive In and a tornado ended up coming through our area (the wind was picking up like crazy!) We had no idea there was a tornado because we live in West Virginia where tornadoes just don’t happen! But on the way home we saw buildings roofs on the side of the road trees snapped at 90 degree angles or massive branches that seemed to have been on the road previously but cleared off by someone. WHEN I WENT TO GO SEE CASPER AND POCAHONTAS AS A DOUBLE FEATURE (AT THE LOCAL DOLLAR THEATER) OR WHEN MY MOM BROUGHT MY BROTHER AND I TO THAT SAME DRIVE IN (seems like all of my best memories were at the drive in or the dollar theater two movies for the price of one can’t beat that) TO MEET A FRIEND OF HERS AND HER DAUGHTER AND SON TO SEE ANACONDA AND LIAR LIAR. THAT WAS THEE FIRST EXPERIENCE WITH A “SCARY” MOVIE AND I LOVED IT! Now had I seen Scream or something more super natural I probably wouldn’t have given horror movies a chance until much later in life but instead the summer of 6th grade going into 7th I somehow convinced my dad to rent my friends and I a bunch of horror movies sometimes 2 times a week even. And up until I saw Darkness Falls (the tooth fairy I think was another name for it) in like 8th grade I didn’t get scared from any of them really. Darkness Falls, The Ring, and the devil from Passion Of The Christ were the only films to make me sleep with a light on in my pre-teen and early teen years haha... and of course Paranormal Activity I didn’t sleep very well that night I saw it in theaters but after that I was fine and can watch it again and find it stupid. But that first viewing not knowing anything going into it because it was opening night I was petrified thee entire movie thinking anything could pop out and scare the begeezus out of us at any moment had my anxiety at an all time high lol. And then the fact that you never saw anything later that night my imagination kept me awake for almost the entire night lol.
david2012slayer Do you really think I give a flying fuck about a word I misspelled by one letter in a different language than my own. I was just quoting the movie, I didn’t need to understand the full origin and meaning of the word. Lmao gtfo here
I remember watching a lot of scary movies growing up and none of them scared me but this film fukn gave me goosebumps and gave me nightmares for a month or so, it was also the year my friend and i saw some wierd thing in the sky. Fuked me up good lol
I'm actually from buck's county originally, it was always a point of pride for us that he fell so in love with the area that he won't film anywhere else
The alien device was not important; the family ideas, humor and scares were great. The right amount of suspense. A movie about faith that doesn't bash you over the head.
The scene with the alien standing on the roof when his daughter wakes him up scares the shit out of me.
I grew up on a farm in Puerto Rico. A place with many UFO sightings. This is still the scariest movie for me.
I still remember the first time I saw that scene, I was at a friend's house and I fell out of my chair
Same here! Gives me goosebumps every time!
Grew up in a orchard with a barn and would never look out the windows at night

I was 10 years old when I watched it on theatres, you can´t even imagine how big of a deal this was for me in a sense of fear.
An old one, but a good one: Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977). It's also really long, but worth it.
Yes, definitely, quite possibly my favorite Steven Spielberg film, just for the music score and the third-act itself. *;D*
Truly one of my favorites of all time. I can't lie though, this movie scared the shit out of me when I was young.

It's possible they are just travelling nomads/scavengers just passing by our system on a whim... and didn't really do any major planning as such. They just saw a quick opportunity etc for resources and took it, not realizing how dangerous the planet or its populace really were.
@@ulysses2162 Environment suits. Raincoats. Hell, T-shirts. Any kind of protective clothing on the planet that's full of acid would be the least you could expect from a space faring species that is allergic to water, of all things.
It's a plot hole for sure but the movie is all about the family.
@Jona I still think they were desperate. They were smart enough to stay away from bodies of water, but that doesnt mean they knew it falls from the sky too. Maybe they used up all of the resources on their planet. It said in the movie that they came to harvest humans. Maybe this was an attempt to gather food and go back home.
@@kodidane5824 more than 50% of a human's mass is WATER
Sixth Sense!!!
Omg no 😟😂 that one is no good at all. We don’t want to hurt our grandma viewer🥺
The "Signs" didn't refer to the crop circles. This isn't an alien movie, it's a film about a Preacher's faith. Joaquin was a failure as a baseball player, but he wasn't given that power for baseball. He would use it to save his nephew. The little girl drank lots of water so that one day Joaquin could use it to save the boy. He was given asthma to protect his lungs from the alien's poison, all these things are "signs" that point to something more.
Merril, *Swing away*
Whoa!! Mind blown.
thank you.. thats the whole point of the movie. im so sad that more people dont seem to be picking up on that. gibsons character even says someone saved them.
Matt Majcan I get the point of the movie and still think it’s trash
Ha! Finally! You're the first person I've seen online that got that!
The bit it appeared on the tv was the most impactful part of the movie for me.
I watched this since I was a kid and it’s my favorite M. Night film.
I remember when I was a kid I thought this was like a documentary. Like I thought aliens were real and we were all going to die LOL.
This movie really rewards repeat viewings. Watching it again I noticed the dust outline of the cross on Merrill's wall, suggesting he took it down after his wife's death. Or how Merrill says he'll call Dr. Crawford about their dog, Houdini, and Morgan says "he doesn't treat animals," because Merrill wouldn't call the vet since he was the person who hit his wife. Or that both times the alien's "talking" was heard, the whole family was touching.
Movies like this are what it's all about!
They're weakness is water , but they go to a planet covered in humidity. Still love the movie
I love your grandmother, she's so smart, funny and stylish! you seem to be a lovely family!
I think objectively The Exorcist is still the best horror film ever made, and in the top 10 movies of all time for me. But subjectively, this film chilled me more than any other. I’m from the UK but I saw this for the first time at a cinema in Florida and had no idea what the film was about. It genuinely terrified me! So glad you’ve done a reaction to this; thanks 🙂
For 20 years I've had the idea that these aliens didn't plan this attack. They were going somewhere else and they just happened to stumble upon our planet, scouted out for a couple days and decided to launch a quick attack. That would explain why they weren't prepared for the water.
Now Im picturing you three with the tin hats lol
One of my favorite movies. I have to laugh though, aliens travel millions of miles to Earth but can’t escape a kitchen.
I was surprised as hell to see you guys reacted to this, it’s been on my mind for a little while. This was one of my favorite movies growin up💀💀
the theory behind this movie is that the aliens aren't hostiles, you never saw anyone get attack, only one guy got injured but becoz he ran from one, and like when the alien vaporize something on the kid, its meant to heal him, so the whole movie is like a lesson on not to judge from the look and all that stuff (its more detailed on the web im just lazy)
I’m surprised nobody mentioned Morgan’s asthma attack. That was so powerful!
Guy in the car is the Director M. Night Shyamalan. He places himself in his films a lot. Honestly, looking back at this film its like an all star cast now. Gibson, Phoenix, Culkin, Breslin. All well known.
Good reaction ladies, you guys do know that with crop circles they have determined that some are man made but there are many many that have baffled scientists as far as how they were made. Very complex geometric patterns that are literally perfect down to the millimeter. They also cannot determine how the crops are laid flat without breaking the stalks, with corn fields, and with other fields the crops are not permanently damaged, and with boards and ropes that would not be possible.
This is one of my favorite M Night. Shyamalan films. Not on he same level as The Sixth Sense, but definitely an enjoyable film.
I hadn't realised that the wee girl was Abigail Breslin. This film has become a bit of a classic. I know there is no redeeming Mel now but what an actor he is. Joaquins star has risen as far as Mels has fallen in intervening years.
I used to watch this so much back in the day with my mom and aunt. I honestly forgot who was all in it. Maybe I'll rewatch it sometime soon. Great reactions as always.
Ray is played by Shyamalan, who also wrote and directed this film.
Bo is the cutest thing ever. AND the best Child Actor i have ever seen.
I actually really liked this one since I was a lil kid, a home invasion by aliens really freaked me out back then. I do believe it is an underrated film from Shyamalan, better than his later-2000s work.
the first half of this movie was brill. absolute brill.
All I can think about when I see the scene with the wife getting hit is oh scary movie "I'm gonna need a ride"😂😂
Great reaction! Love this movie!
I notice new things every time I watch it, like how the news cast says that the aliens left quickly leaving their wounded behind - hence the desperation and vicious attack of the alien at the end. I also love how we see Meryl struggling with purpose and considering leaving the farm at the recruitment office.
Subscribed! Have a great day!
This movie scarred me as a kid. We used to and still lived next to a cornfield.
Any Chance you Ladies can do a Reaction Video to the 1982 Movie "John Carpenter's THE THING" ?
It is a Sci-Fi Horror CLASSIC!
Absolutely LOVE M. Night Shyamalan!
3:12 Her poor little face when houdini barks at her 😢
A tremendously underrated movie and it's been bizarrely criticised over the years I've noticed when the name of the movie has cropped up on movie forums and other websites I've noticed. I've been a big movie fan for thirty years and this is up there in my top few movies personally. Great reaction.
**Sees crop circle**
“Who would do that?”
Me: “Yep. This is gonna be a good reaction...”
I loved the red hair girl real reaction! :) It was like be back in time with my first reaction when I saw this movie :))) I actually cried with her :) thankYouVerymuch
I had a feeling this movie was destined to become a cherished classic when I saw it back when it was new. The pacing, (some of) the acting and dialogue, the epic climax, the music.. all way too good to not eventually be appreciated.
"Someone's gonna give him a sign, and the other guy is gonna realize what the sign is."
You know? She wasn't exactly wrong in that regard
I hated this movie as a kid because my mom picked it up from the store when it first hit dvd and my mom told me not to watch it without her because its gonna scare me and i was like no so she was like ok go ahead then and when the part with the alien on tape part came up when the alien walked by the small opening got me so shook i started to cry and turn it off and my mom was like see i told you lesson learned but now i love this movie
MrMovieLover yeah that moment for some reason is really shocking
Damn she is grinding 3 reaction videos a day
This movie scared the piss out of me. I saw it in the theater when first came out. I thought it was going to be about mysterious signs showing up in crop fields and that’s it. My stomach was in knots for several hours after the movie.
This movie is such a classic
I love this movie. It gets ignored when put up next to the sixth sense and unbreakable but to me, every bit of the 3rd act is so emotional and powerful
The first movie to ever creep me the hell out and give me nightmares when I was a kid, also the reason I love horror movies. Amazing Performance
Signs scared me as a kid
Same
I WILL NEVER FORGET GETTING TO GET MY MOM TO TAKE MY BROTHER AND I TO THE DRIVE IN TO SEE THIS...SHE WAS TERRIFIED BUT SHE HAD SO MUCH FUN WITH US!! SHE IS SCARED OF CERTAIN LIFETIME MOVIES AND WAS SCARED OF THE MUNSTERS WHEN SGHE WAS GROWING UP IF THAT TELLS YOU ANYTHING...BUT SOMEHOW SHE MANAGED TO SURVIVE THE ENTIRE MOVIE THANK GOD! I don’t think I’ve ever had more fun in movie going experience...Maybe seeing Twister at that same Drive In and a tornado ended up coming through our area (the wind was picking up like crazy!) We had no idea there was a tornado because we live in West Virginia where tornadoes just don’t happen! But on the way home we saw buildings roofs on the side of the road trees snapped at 90 degree angles or massive branches that seemed to have been on the road previously but cleared off by someone.
WHEN I WENT TO GO SEE CASPER AND POCAHONTAS AS A DOUBLE FEATURE (AT THE LOCAL DOLLAR THEATER)
OR WHEN MY MOM BROUGHT MY BROTHER AND I TO THAT SAME DRIVE IN (seems like all of my best memories were at the drive in or the dollar theater two movies for the price of one can’t beat that) TO MEET A FRIEND OF HERS AND HER DAUGHTER AND SON TO SEE ANACONDA AND LIAR LIAR. THAT WAS THEE FIRST EXPERIENCE WITH A “SCARY” MOVIE AND I LOVED IT! Now had I seen Scream or something more super natural I probably wouldn’t have given horror movies a chance until much later in life but instead the summer of 6th grade going into 7th I somehow convinced my dad to rent my friends and I a bunch of horror movies sometimes 2 times a week even. And up until I saw Darkness Falls (the tooth fairy I think was another name for it) in like 8th grade I didn’t get scared from any of them really. Darkness Falls, The Ring, and the devil from Passion Of The Christ were the only films to make me sleep with a light on in my pre-teen and early teen years haha... and of course Paranormal Activity I didn’t sleep very well that night I saw it in theaters but after that I was fine and can watch it again and find it stupid. But that first viewing not knowing anything going into it because it was opening night I was petrified thee entire movie thinking anything could pop out and scare the begeezus out of us at any moment had my anxiety at an all time high lol. And then the fact that you never saw anything later that night my imagination kept me awake for almost the entire night lol.
Sixth Sense!! Love you guys all the way from Melbourne Australia 🙂🙂
OMG I NEVER THOUGHT YOU WOULD REACT TO THIS
MOVE CHILDREN
VAMANOS
its "vámonos" (lets go; in plural).
But he should have said "muevanse" = "move", conjugated verb in imperative mode, also in plural.
david2012slayer Do you really think I give a flying fuck about a word I misspelled by one letter in a different language than my own. I was just quoting the movie, I didn’t need to understand the full origin and meaning of the word. Lmao gtfo here
@@vinny5727 Jesus you went so hostile and offensive. Relax, kid. He was just giving some insight on the word.
*Sits down in Popeyes* nothing can stop us from enjoying this meal SO ENJOY IT!
The guy in the truck he was talking to was M.Night Shamalan 😁
The one thing I never understood is why they would try to invade a planet that is covered in the stuff that kills them.
The vet in the van was the director of the film btw lol
Since we're talking about aliens, then... Give "Predator"!
One of my fave movies....I will watch it every time I see it on tv!!
😱😱😱😍😍😍 cant believe you reacted to one of my favorite M. Night Shyamalan movies!!! Clicked on this video SO FAST 🔥🔥🔥
I cried!! Lol 😭😭😭 SUCH a good reaction
I remember watching a lot of scary movies growing up and none of them scared me but this film fukn gave me goosebumps and gave me nightmares for a month or so, it was also the year my friend and i saw some wierd thing in the sky. Fuked me up good lol
This is one of my faves as a kid :D
We know M. Night well around Philadelphia since he films all of his movies around here.
I'm actually from buck's county originally, it was always a point of pride for us that he fell so in love with the area that he won't film anywhere else
Aww that is so awesome
shit, the movie split literally took place under the philadelphia zoo, it’s pretty dope
Ooh... I hope you guys react to The Village someday.
I think that one's as creepy as The Sixth Sense.
omg thank you sooo much for reacting to this one of my favorite movies ever
Lady in the Water was good too, along with the Village.
Bo was such a sweetheart.
Ahhh… I just knew Kim’s reaction was gonna devastate me. 😭 Great vid/editing.
My Mother and I watched this movie many times. Very Good!
Y'all would love The Village I think. Joaquin Phoenix is in this as well, another M. Night Shymalan movie.
The alien device was not important; the family ideas, humor and scares were great. The right amount of suspense. A movie about faith that doesn't bash you over the head.
YAAAASSS!!!! ONE OF MY FAV FILMS EVER AND definitely my fav shyamalan film ever.
