However, eventually a easy way of overcoming the aliens would be found that would repel them back out into the stars. In todays episode we we will talk about what this was, why its such a meme thing, but also, why its not as ridiculous as it may seem!

Imagine the chaos and panic that insued when the aliens first experienced what earthlings call "rain".
Imagine they had tried to attack Britain or Germany or better yet the rainforest first.
Lol.
And what the aliens call "pain"
@@garden7549 LMAO!
@@JuMiKu one of the stupid thing the aliens have done is attacking india as much as india is hot in temperature when it rain here its no joke they will probably be melted in a matter of second
Signs STILL scares me. I think it's the way how we focus on the family not the aliens, that's how it'll feel if it ever actually happened. Not shots of ships coming in or thr army fighting them, but a family eating a meal together while they try to not panic.
The movie Dark Skies has a similar scene and it’s also done very well
I always enjoyed this aspect of the movie. Such a fresh insight to American resolve during a crisis, even fictional
The directing from m night was phenomenal and ahead of its time too! The way he let you know that the aliens were around you but didn’t show them kept you on edge, the foot steps the clicking the camouflage was what terrified me as a kid. Had he put the aliens in our face it yeah it would’ve been unsettling but would’ve gotten old quick
The shot of the alien walking Bigfoot style kind of dulled it for me. The things lurking around the farm, only occasionally being seen, like they’re scouting the place out, that works, but then revealing them to be like…your standard ‘Gray’ but longer suddenly reduces that for me.
@@samuraibeatzz dark skies was awesome. I still recommend it

I believe Sun Tzu said that first
@@DragonfireVEVO sun Tzu said that, and he knows a little more about fighting then you do pal, BECAUSE HE INVENTED IT! then her perfected it so no living man could could best him in the ring of honor. THEN he used his fight money to buy two of every animal, then her herded them on to a boat and beat the crap out of every single one of them. and from then on every time a bunch of animals are in one place its called a Tzu..... UNLESS ITS A FARM

"Caveman brain will continue anyhow!"
Well, if that isn't the most concise explanation of how humans react to unusual situations, I don't know what is
That's probably the virus wondering why the caveman brain still continues
The aliens have just as much "caveman brain" in this instance, prancing around naked in an environment hostile to them when they clearly have the technology to be decked out in sealed power armor.
Take a look at Twitter lot of caveman brain activity going on over there

Wooden doors are the key why aliens havent invaded earth yet , we are protected.

@@BaldyAngry we should build a giant wooden door in space in order to protect us from aliens, just in case you know
I mean, maybe wood is super unique to Earth
@@M_Alexander How amazing would it be if aliens came to invade with weapons that could totally disintegrate metal and stone. But when they see wood, all that speaking at the doors is them going "what the FUCK is THIS stuff??!!"
Having been outside the pharmacy where they filmed the scene down the street from my house, I know it accurately takes place in late September/early October as the growth of the corn shows.
Loved the film. My only problem is how the aliens survived the intense amount of dew in the cornfield at night.
I played in cornfields at night as a child, and my friends and I would get soaked. 🤔
i too live in that area, and yeah. dear god. all the dew. i can't walk to work without my shoes getting soaked when i cross the abandoned railroad tracks.

That's why they petered out in their invasion. Earthly Holy Water.

You rewatched the scenes even without the most important aspect and still got chills. Imagine he included the music
Imagine if aliens invaded and thought that TV and the Internet was absolute fact and they see someone playing doom so they just leave because they don't want to fight the slayer
Reverse Galaxy Quest. Awesome.
To be fair, I would leave too if I thought Master Chief, Doom Slayer, and Gundam's were real.
@@CrypteGardien Beat me to it.
Imagine if they invaded just to play video games and steal the consoles
Master Cheif you mean.
Just realized... If these aliens tried to attack us and used their claws to slash at us,they would be pretty much slashing at barrels of acid since our blood contains quite a lot of water
Reverse Alien, lol
TRUE
It's be like playing _Noita..._
I mean they could had been smart enough to use lazers to kill us, *but they didn't..*
@@moscow9394 They likely didn't fight like a regular army. They can render themselves invisible through camouflaged and snatched people and as the movie implied engaged in hand to hand combat. That's probably how they went.
This movie with its infamous "birthday party" scene. Scared me when I was younger. Such a great movie though
Same bro. The first time actually watched the movie form start to finish, I was 14 😂 for the longest time I was to scared to watch it.
Yeah, that scared me when I first saw it. I was also 14.
Literally gave me nightmares as a kid. Honestly nothing has lived up to how scared that made me.
@@jessicawilson1751 after I watched it, it became one of my favorite movies.
The build up to that scene was nicely done. It scared me quite a lot
To be honest, the whole explanation on how unique Earth is gave me the same vibe that cosmic horror does.
@dredgenshade7137 I mean Earth is unique, every planet is. But it's far from being habitably unique.
The best part about this movie for me, was the fact that the aliens weren't some sort of unbeatable creatures. They bleed, break and die just as easily as us, just have different adaptions
And no pants. Exhibitionist weirdos.
@@CantankerousDave damn right. Bunch of perverts
soo true bestie
you must love most alien movies then xd
@@spinosaurusstriker i do
After rewatching this movie fairly recently, it seemed more like the alien was surprised that the water was able to do such significant damage
I like to think that water never existed on their planet. _But I guess I'm the only one who thinks that!_
@@troin3925 no, no you are not weirdo
My question is that they obviously have knowledge of gas as the alien spits it out of it's wrist proboscus, so wouldn't that presuppose a knowledge of liquid and therefore water?
@@bobbysalkeld2634 Maybe, Maybe not. That could have been a slave class that was sent down there to see how the humans would respond. The slaves not knowing how water from earth would react and that's why it looked surprised. As far as the gas goes the could be normal for that species body to produce. Liquid on their planet could be different than earth. It really all comes down to the writers
@@Zen-751 Could have been interdimensional and this was their first physical experience. testing the waters so to speak - still would take half a second to notice hydrogen and oxygen
I like the theory that the aliens we see in the movie are just scouts genetically engineered to die easily so that they can’t be captured and the aliens leave after collecting information about us.
Reminds me of the red shirts that were sent down in star trek to scout. At least from what I remember that's what they were used for so it might be a play on that which is also a fun little theory. Makes total sense too if going by that logic, why send your best when you can send in expendables to do your bidding
@Lucas De Araújo Marques I think you're overthinking that theory. I've been seeing people do that a lot down here and I barely see that for any other movie, show, etc.
@Lucas De Araújo Marques Fair enough
I like the theory that the writer/director was a pretentious ass who got full of himself and blended an excellent display of extra-terrestrial horror with his own idiotic and sanctimonious religious sensibilities.
Seriously without the religious baggage this could have easily been the greatest alien visitation horror ever made.
Now its just the 50/50 split movie betweeb great and dumb.
It was a raid to harvest humans, this is stated in the movie during a radio broadcast
The Signs Aliens are a species I 100% need more info on. somebody needs to write a official book or comic book on what the heck they want / were doing.
There's a theory on TH-cam that they were demons, not aliens. The whole movie centers around a priest regaining his faith. We see no spaceships, just lights in the sky. The glasses of water might technically be considered "holy water", being in the priest's house. That's why it burns, not just any water will do. It all adds up.
This movie horrified me as a child. Whenever I was bad my parents would say they would make me watch this movie in the dark. This movie was great
your parents knew how to discipline a child hell i grew up when resident evil was becoming the newest big thing so i has a extensive fear of flesh eating zombies if my parents had of used that against me things would have been easier for them xD
Man, it used to give me the creeps, glad to know I'm not alone.
Bro me too!! I remember after watching this movie I was scared as hell for about a week Lol. Specially whenever I had to do something in the backyard at night, I felt like one of those aliens were going to pop out on me from behind the bushes like in the news scene smh 🤦🏻♂️
Yeah same this movie was an absolute nightmare for me, especially when I had to go out too the store at night to get milk from the corner store. I would look at the roofs and make sure there wasn’t an alien standing there and staring at me.
I also was terrified of this movie as a kid, with my sister always that they would make me watch it, but now I just so how good of a movie it is
"truth is often stranger than fiction"
yeah their skin didnt even burn, it microscopically exploded lmao.
its like super eczema
Our water is their Xenomorphe blood! lol
@The One, The Only, The Official Mr. Troll Face Ah, dangly bits, the biggest weakness of any creature that possesses them.
@@decimation9780 ....
We know Ronokes Weakness
"Have you ever wanted to fist fight an alien?" - Why yes, yes I have.
Whether you beat them or are beaten by then, you will be a winner
would pay to see a pro mma fighter scrap with an alien
You can absolutely do that in Perfect Dark. It's more fun to do that against the Skedar than the Maians though, since the Maians are essentially Oddjob from Goldeneye.
Rip and tear until it is done.
Hopefully not in a farm. Jug Head would be too distracted
Imagine being the general that stategized the invasion.
"Ok, lets get down there. No armor, no weapons."
"We're invincible, just as long as we don't get wet!"
"That sure is the bluest planet in this system...wonder what all that liquid stuff is..."
"Boys, it's time to break out the water guns."
ignorance like that is not unheard of in human history. see france's and german reich's invasions of russia without accounting for winter. or chinas "war" on sparrows.
Maybe the aliens have never seen water before and they're like. That's an interesting looking planet for us!
later
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH WHY IS THERE ACID ALL AROUND WHAT THE HELL!!!!
Everyone yelling to retreat.
"There's a monster in my room, can I have a glass of water?" (Instant cold chill goosebumps lol)
Apparently Bo knew about their weakness before anyone.
@@Garr44 Yeah, it was mentioned that she would often get dreams.
Damn aliens always messing around in the cornfield lol
She was obsessed with the water throughout the whole film. She thinks its tainted cause shes somehow telepathically tuning in to the aliens communications
I love this movie and love its inner workings, but this little detail always confused me. How did she know? If they had stuck with the original plot where it was demons instead, so at least it could be a miracle that she learned about their weakness.
Plot Twist: "It was Wolfington brothers."
"There goes those Wolfington Boys again"
What a twist!!!
Them boys ain't right
Knowing M Nights history with incredibly disappointing endings. Thank god it wasnt.
The most elaborate Prank in the World😂
The original form of the script did have the aliens turn out to be demons, and the reason the water worked against them was not because it was in the Reverend's house, but because he blessed his daughter's water so she would actually drink some of it before deciding that it was contaminated. It was later rewritten to the creatures being aliens, and not demons, and references to him blessing the water removed to appeal to a wider audience, and thus the twist of "The Aliens are actually demons" became "The Aliens are allergic to water."
Either way, it's gay.
Good grief.....
Fridaey13txhOktober honestly tho, why?
@@fromthefire4176 gay = awesome
Damn. Would’ve preferred the demon version
Your explanation on the aliens and being a possible pawn for a stronger species got me wanting a part two of this movie.
I always assumed the Aliens knew of the water and their weakness but the move to earth was out of desperation, most basic answer to why someone would make a survival choice that doesnt normally make logical sense.
That’s actually pretty smart
Poor aliens don't even have protective gear like EVA suits...
Not really, basically just invade a world where it rains acid, animals bleed acid and so on.
Now watch the movie Predator, there you go.
Now imagine them needing a moral boost and their government just deciding to invade a premature planet to say ‘see how easy we wiped this death world’
Basically: humans are space orcs
@@silent_stalker3687 Well they are so poor they dont have clothes so he can be right.

This movie traumatized me as a kid, especially the birthday scene. I have no issues watching this movie as an adult, but as a kid I would lay awake at night scared that the aliens from Signs would invade. To this day I still close the curtains/blinds at night.
> Imagine not having seen Aliens and Them at age 5 or 6 -D
Yeah, me too, and considering im brazilian you can imagine my shock at that scene. Even if the movie is kinda dumb it stills gives me chills, idk
I hear you i still keep my blinds shut at night shit i have very bad dreams about the aliens from signs
I had a dream that I was walking home from my friend's house at night and I saw the alien standing on my roof, staring right at me. I remember just laying in the fetal position and just accepting my fate. I don't know what that meant about my psyche but I thought it was a cool nightmare.
Yeah something about that scene used to freak me out as a kid
After I watched this movie and heard that water was the aliens weakness, I imagined that someone in the Middle East used a water gun as kind of a “last stand” kinda thing and then got up and spread the word. Once word got out and circled the globe, I just imagined the world’s military’s having fire fights with like the super-soaker water guns and the aliens running away 😂
Military will say, guns are faster, keep shooting those
Instead of grenades water ballons lol
Aliens: have a crippling weakness agains water

Side note: It's mentioned towards the end of the film by a newscaster that the aliens were only here to abduct humans, thus explaining their daring presence on a world that's 70% water
Still doesn't explain why they did this without wearing any protective equipment.
@@AnEnormousNerd The invasion coincided with the No-Suit Challenge on space tiktok.
@@AnEnormousNerdthey ran out of funding from Abduct-co
@@AnEnormousNerdlol it's a great movie don't be nitpicky
@@givemeliberty700 It really isn't, unless you're rating it as an unintentional comedy.
I always assumed that they weren’t invaders at all. More like prisoners sentenced to a slow and painful death by other members of their species. Think about it. They were left naked and stranded on a world that is a literal flesh melting hellscape to them. These beings were less an invading force and more a desperate pack of exiles frantically trying to find shelter before acid started falling from the sky.
Also why didn't their skin already had burns as we literally have water in our air on most of our old
@@goreandhoodies3626 I'm no Scientist but isn't water in the air just called water vapor? And maybe it only effects them in liquid form you know?
Cap
@@divinekof9967 Water in the air is still just water, essentially dissolved in the air. The vapour can become a liquid again when touching a surface anyways.
Any gas that's toxic to us can also come in a liquid form at the right temperature, yet since they are the same chemical they will both affect us the same way.
I'm guessing ones sent first were the equivalent of alien Class D.
“Hand to hand combat to wipe out humans” *gets banished to the shadow realm with a baseball bat*
bat is not hand to hand combat lol maybe they didnt know baseball existed
That alien was wounded and left to die on Earth without support, they say it in the movie.
He picked the wrong house foo
@@forrestpenrod2294 Yeah, he was pretty much written off as a loss.
Plus.... you know, a baseball bat is not exactly an ineffective weapon. The fact the thing took a full-power swing directly to the back and wasn't immediately crippled tells me the things are actually pretty damned sturdy to blunt impact.
The fact that it was already injured and sick but still took multiple full powered swings from the bat and didn’t die from that alone shows how strong they are

The scene with alien standing in the roof watching the girl was traumatizing because I have a window that looks out to the roof like this. And I would close my blinds every night.

This was one of the two movies that scared me to death, but I still loved it. Would usually crawl in bed with my mom after we watched it, thinking the aliens were hiding in the dark. Glad others had the same experience
What is the other movie?
What Lina Rio said.
Jeppers Creepers
@@RenoValentine89ah yes the first creeper movie was unsettling and the second was was fucking TERRIFYING
@@forfuckssake6269 I like the second one better than the first one. The first one was too confusing for me. The second one has a better plot and was more scary.
Signs, unbreakable and 6th sense are some of the absolute best films from its era, these movies have such realism to it, the fear feels genuine and the movies are so much deeper than expected
Humans: "Aliens are so stupid, why come here if it's dangerous for them."
Also Humans: *_"Trust me, we can make Mars habitable by nuking the ever living fuck out of the polar caps."_*
It makes sense why the aliens would attack us, but I mean come on, they could've at LEAST bothered to wear a suit. No human would be crazy enough to step onto a completely alien planet with no suit.
At least a raincoat
Seriously I get they can camouflage and that's great for recon, but when recon is over and the real invasion begins they could have put worn something to protect themselves.
@@marse5729 That's true but they also might have been extremely desperate, maybe their home became inhabitable
@@hewhoisme4343 They're clearly a very advanced species given that they managed to travel to Earth in massive spaceships undetected, and they clearly had enough food to sustain themselves given they were there for at least several days if not upwards of a month. If they had little to no food or weapons on them, then why bother attacking in the first place rather than surrendering and hoping they get peacefully accepted?
Either way, stepping out of their ships to try attacking us with nothing but their claws and rather mild poisonous gas was one of the worst choices they could've possibly made. If this happened in real life the aliens wouldn't last a day.
Tbh this movie is the epitome of fear and tension. Even while Roanoke was describing the story and after watching this movie so many times over the years it still gave me goosebumps and chills. Movies just arnt made like this anymore.
I know right, they are trying to make horror movies with too much exposition, cheap jumpscares, putting in a romantic interest just for the sake of having one, putting in gags that fall flat, and/or having swiss cheese worthy plot holes.
I completely agree. This movie still creeps me out to this day, It's one of my favorites. I love the use of noise to build tension and awareness of the aliens around. I wish I could see movies made like this again eventually.
It’s just slight anxiety brought about by childhood nostalgia, I saw this movie again when I was older and laughed the whole time, it’s absolute nonsense.
Epitome*
@@juncheok8579 gotcha fam
If aliens do ever come here, they'll be coming for the rayconn earbuds because they only have holes for ears.
I keep losing the damn things
I always liked that the aliens in Signs lose in a single night... which is exactly what you'd expect if you sent an invasion into an environment that is saturated with super acid. It makes the invasion seem more like a desperation move rather than a well-planned, long-term invasion (War of the Worlds would be a better example of aliens plotting and planning long in advance, but still losing to what should be common sense to an advanced species). They don't stick around and try to fight it out, they go in, realize they're completely unprepared, and then leave. 12-hour invasion.
An interesting fan theory I've heard is that the original twist of the film was going to reveal that the "Aliens" were actually Demons. They have cloven hooves, can't open doors on their own, get burned by water in the house of a holy man. The central character arc involves the protagonist resolving his crisis of faith.
It really does kinda feel like they were something else that got retooled into aliens halfway through production.
@@SpadeDracoI love that Theory. I assume though it was planned from the Beginning that everyone should think they are actually Aliens.
Also never noticed the Hooves
Considering how they were mainly targeting rural areas, they might literally have just been here to steal food.
@@SpadeDracointeresting but the crop circle kinda ruins it. They’re very much tied to aliens

I should apologize to my cousin Ahmed
I imagined people in hijabs throwing sticks an rocks tf r u on
I mean, I always just imagined they just shot them, seeing as how the aliens are all naked and unarmed.
I imagined a bunch of dudes with covered up faces yelling "يا محمد وين العطيف" breaking the knees of these aliens with axes and محواش while yelling بسمالله
No I imagined an army of angry people yelling Allahu Akbar from the top of they're lungs with bats axes and swords broadcasting the coping of alien heads in the name of Allah :)))))
I’ve been on the thought that the aliens in this movie are warrior class and the upper class stay on the mothership, but I still have a problem with them not being able to open a door.

Basically they needed us because we’re dumb and do dumb things that somehow work.
These guys are so advanced that simple things got in there way. Kinda like how most of us are so used to our modern lifestyle that making a simple spear or mud hut would be impossible for us.

08:27 was the moment that scarred every child born in 1995. Legit scarred.
I legit have PTSD of old TH-cam style videos thanks to this moment and I know everyone born in 95 is too.
What made it so god damn terrifying as a kid, was the fact it looked so real. Just how natural the setting looked, the way it just casually came out and walked past. It actually took me out of the movie to freaking out in real life. Might I add, at the time we didn't have super fast WiFi, google, smart phones or social media. This is something that added to horror films especially as a kid, we couldn't look things up. We wasn't connected to the world 24/7. We had 1 PC for the internet the entire family shared, i dont remember the chat rooms we used but we had things like MSN and ATOL i believe or something can't actually remember.
So yeah, things like this as a kid was easily believable and we had no means of being connected to the world like we are today. I mean I can stay up to date with the world 24/7, talk to people all over the world in a matter of seconds and it is sat right in my pocket. Can use it at anytime.
This film and one other legitimately scared the sh*t out of me as a kid, the other film is called Fragile. Again watched it as a kid. I have never seen anyone talk about it, so I assume it didn't do too well. But, let me tell you when we finally see the ghost in the film, I screamed the house down and proceeded to sh*t my panties, soak the sofa and spray the damn wall. That thing scared me so much I didn't sleep for months. Fortunately it was so long ago I forgot what it looked like and no one can send images in the comments. But yeah, the 2 only films that genuinely freaked me out as a kid.
I'd like to add, in my defence the movie fragile was set on the Isle of Wight. I lived in Southampton, legit the red funnel was used in a scene. She was in Southampton to get to the IOW!!! It was way too close for comfort!! 😅🤣 I must admit the movie name was excellent, as it was relatable, I was the fragile one.
I believe you. Something about the scene surprised me. It doesn’t bother me much now; but back then, even as a teen when the movie came out. It had something about it that made me feel a bit shocked. To me it also feels that part of it was also Joaquin Phoenix making the shocked expression as the character watching the video, along with the dark of the theater being dark in contrast with the film. The other film that bothered me back then was The Ring. Once more, it had to do with the abrupt timing of the scenes in that movie such as suddenly turning the chair around and seeing how the evil demon girl turned a person into a decayed corpse or something.
@@KaosNova2 Would it shock you that Aliens are here on Earth??
@@tufflucal4037 That’s where I’m not sure I would feel. For a number of reasons.
@KaosNova2 Yea I get it it's weird. But I'm not surprised that they're here
Such a great era for movies. Makes me really miss being a kid.
Was just thinking this. I miss the early 2000’s!
Same this movie and War of the Worlds (2005) scared the fuck outta me and gave me a lifelong fear/fascination of aliens and UFOs
Aliens: we will engage with you apes, hand to hand combat
Humanity laughs in thousands of years of combat experience
Brazilian jiu jitsu black belts: "Fuckin bet!"
The fact that I'm a 22 year old man who's stomach still drops anytime I see that birthday party alien scene really goes to show how terrified that scene had me as a kid
My god that scene haunted me as a child, had me terrified of my windows because I thought I was gonna look outside and see one walk past
Scared me too! I remember my mom saying “ i told you not to watch it” lmao
I slept with my lamp on for about 2 almost 4 weeks after I watched this movie
I wasn't even a Kid when I saw this and it horrified me too.
Its probably cause it looks real af
Not familiar with Alien, Aliens or The Grudge?
One of my favorites! Prior to seeing the film we had a break in at night, my mother, sister and I were hiding in the bathroom, My sisters bf left us to see what was happening and ended up chasing the guy out. It was scary hearing the shuffling sounds and movement in the house. Thankfully we were okay but that break in scene with aliens was too real lol
This movie freaked the fuck outta me as a kid. And the Theme in the beginning still gives me goosebumps. Thank you Roanoke!
Yeah, until I realized I could cut the aliens in half if I peed on them.
Yeah bro this movie was all kinds of weird
Ngl, my English teacher made us watch this movie and with my hyperactive imagination, I couldn't sleep for 2 nights straight because I thought they were at my window.
Yeah, I was too afraid to enter the a corn maze by myself
Same, but it only scares kids, very poggers
The beauty of this movie was the fear they were able create with showing the aliens so minimally
We don't have enough of that anymore. Hollywood got better special effects and started going nuts with it.
Same with the original Jurassic Park. There is very little actual dinosaur screentime, something like 15 minutes. So the tension has time to develop
Even a clergyman in the country, even in PA having not a single firearm let alone even one long gun is just NOT credible.
Ayyyyy PA gang
@09:45 - I remember saying: "If the rock comes flying back I will shit myself!"
i have a theory about houdini, when bo gave him water and he suddenly jumped up and growled, it seemed like he was looking past them at something lurking behind them and than went beserk in an attempt to defend them which got him misunderstood and killed
Not gonna lie this movie was the scariest thing ever when I was a little kid.
Still gives me chills lol.
It was always the birthday party scene that got me

Same here. It’s a damn effective film.

So most HFY stories then?
@@Zakvadr1995 Speaking of HFY, I have had a terrible new Sub-Genre idea. Humans are Orz, and yes that includes being EXTREMELY hard to translate to the point that sentences are formed like "not like same too much like" and "Do you want to see our surprising '*toys'*? No!! Do Not!!"
I always wondered about the aftermath after the invasion is over and now there's a dead alien body in your living room. And they also took a chance going outside at the end since they didn't know for sure if any other aliens got left behind and were still in the corn field. They're like the least guarded family in that regard. Imagine going back into your house and what to do with the alien body. I'd take a few more swings at the head myself just to make sure. It would've been interesting to see a sequel from the point of view of the armed forces fighting during the invasion. Like how well did our guns and technology do against the alien warriors before they retreated and were the aliens winning at some point during the invasion that was happening. I know the movie was more about losing and regaining one's faith, but a strictly sci-fi sequel about the invasion would'be been cool to see.
I'd like to know what the aftermath of this is, like would we just prepare, autopsy the aliens, did we capture any ships? Also why didnt they blow the shit out of the lights after it was confirmed they killed people with the gas
@@Leviathan56 would be cool to see a sequel from a different perspective too. I know in 2020, Rory Culkin said he'd be down for a sequel. Not that I'd care to see the Hess family yet again, but I'd take any sequel just to see more footage of the aliens and ships.
@@stephensmith8316 Sequel is probably them coming back after a few years. Yeah, we got some alien bodies but they also kidnapped humans as well. And like I explained in another post, I always thought they didn't want to conquer the Earth right away. They came to learn more about us. They showed their ships hovering for a few days and never attacked until that one night. Otherwise, they were hiding, most of the time, in forests, cornfields, etc. Then the night came and they tried to subdue and take as many people as they could. Maybe their toxin wasn't even deadly. Could have been used to knock people out and then take them to their ships. The dude on the radio literally mentions that a lot of people were missing and that some of them were brought to their ships.
@@Leviathan56 They tried to shoot the lights. In fact a fighter jet ended up flying straight into one. Blew up, nothing happened to the light.
They build 'em tough wherever they build 'em.
One thing that always bugged me was that there was a guy on the radio after the aliens were routed. He mentions that "it wasn't an invasion, it was a harvest" and that people were being dragged away by the aliens. I always wanted to know more about that in itself
**Desire to know more intensifies**
Second that!
Its what he said. They used gas to kill or knockout people and harvested them for food. It was more likely a species that drifts thru space and consumes reaources along the way and they made an invasion on earth but becuz of water being acid to them it turned into a smash and grab
@@FluidMotionEnergy Yeah, that doesn't exactly make them look any better. Humans are just a little bit full of water. Even grabbing us would be incredibly hazardous, when we get scared we sweat. And cry. And piss. And puke. Just spraying that acid water all over the place. Imagine humans trying to collect magma people for food.
The movie's just really badly thought out. Like all of his movies.
But in reality during an alien invasion, the creatures motives and plan would never be fully revealed to you. We as audience members receive as much information as the characters do, and create theories to fill in the gaps. This is a film that plays primarily on subtlety, suspense, and ambiguity.
I remember some of the older members of XCOM talking about this particular species, they used super soakers and water balloons, saving billions of taxpayer dollars on what was one of the weakest invasions in XCOM's history.
The curb stomp song.
As someone who was traumatized by this movie as a kid, I was not ready to see the alien back to back in the analysis section. Especially the birthday scene.
#facts
Dude same, especially when the place I used to live (a trailer park att) had a lot of those little alleyways and I always felt like something was gonna walk past. Freaked myself out most of the time.

Imagine being a firefighter just doing his job when the invasion kicks off. He gets cornered by a bunch of aliens, so he turns his hose on and it saws through them like a lightsaber going through a Sith apprentice.
Maybe the invading aliens originated from a desert planet and thus had a higher water absorption factor on their skin to compensate for the much drier air from their home planet, thus making their cells burst when in contact with a higher concentration of water
Counterpoint: Skin doesn’t explode from water exposure, even over long timespans. There is always a limit to how much moisture can be absorbed, because cells don’t like destroying themselves without a good reason. That’s also why we have so many layers working together as „skin“, it’s a security measure so that one destroyed layer isn’t much of a problem. There’s the other layers keeping you intact.
Humans: Those aliens are so stupid going to a planet full of water that hurts them.
Also humans: "I wanna visit Chernobyl", "Let's buy a ticket to North Korea", "Let's go to a party in the middle of a pandemic", "Wanna go and raid a military base to see what happens?"

The guy on the radio said “this wasn’t a invasion this was a raid they came here for us” which makes sense humans have protein which can not be found anywhere else in the galaxy so far, so the aliens saw the risk but realized the reward was worth the risk
if they need protein and it can't be found anywhere else aside from earth, how do the aliens exist
@@liamzakhaev Could be various hormones or other aspects of our biochemistry that are valuable.
Consider adrenaline, if they don't have an equivalent but could use it somehow could make humans a valuable source of what would be to them an incredibly valuable combat drug.
Humans have biological processes that make us incredibly hardy compared to most other life, comparatively speaking it's difficult to kill a human.
That could be valuable and worth the risk of a raid.
@@thomasparkin259 I like the idea of them beeing like blackmarket poachers coming here to harvest something that is hard to get or illegal.
We farm animals that have way more protein in them. An intelligent species would definitely notice all of our animal farms and go for that instead.

Pure water most likely don't hurt them its the add ones in our drinking water that could harm them.
@@SirDinielFortesque I was thinking about chlorine and other shit we use constantly to clean our water, also even the years of filth in our environment, it could be a war of the worlds type thing, the chemicals in our atmosphere might be our greatest defender
i mean, they can just stay away from the mostly watery parts
Me: Why would aliens invade and try to take over a planet that isn't habitable to them naturally?
Roanoke: Well humans are trying to do the same thing. Look at Mars.
Me: Touché
No, not really. The aliens are able to travel much further than us and we're mostly just trying to do what we do so we can advance to THAT point. Roanoke's point is incredibly short sighted.
not to mention we’d go to mars with at least some protective coverings. i don’t think the first humans on mars would step out naked and with no gas tanks.
All valid points
@@stoneskinreb
Yeah. I'm reminded of how the dream of mars is dying in Expanse, now that they have access to other worlds.
Don't you guys consider the possibility that their planet doesn't have water or that this is the first time they encountered water? This isn't like War of The Worlds where we know everything about the Martians, their technology, where they came from, etc., this takes place in one farm house and we only know what the characters know (it's like 10 Cloverfield Lane's aliens and how it takes place in a small location rather than a big city or having the camera move anywhere else other than where the main characters are or having characters from multiple cities), aside from some small implied details like the aliens leaving their wounded behind or how in the birthday party video, the alien hides behind a bush before it walks out.
I always thought, that the aliens weren't really worried about water, because they saw how easy we as a species are destroying the balance of earth, so they could much more easily change the composition or ratio of water and the elements that make it, but they didn't take into account, morning dew, or sprinkler in backyards, rain, and fog, so that's why the hostile take over was finished so fast😅
Imagine such a advanced alien species travelling through the galaxy building gigantic spaceships making complex structures with crops but then underestimate rain or fog or glasses with water…………….😂😂

I always wonder what if aliens just come to earth to film like their version of national geographic
Watch alien TV on Netflix because it is basically that
Possibly their version of "Jackass" considering what liquid water does to them.
Aliens visit Jersey Shore to film their own reality tv show
These Aliens could take over our planet, but...
"They seem to have trouble with Pantry DOORS."
and water, the thing covering 70% of the planet, seriously the pacific ocean covers like 45% of the planet alone.
Okay pantry doors might be a concept completely alien to them
Like if we tried to use whatever door system they have
But invading a planet covered in something that hurts you
Attacking a species that could weaponize it's own biology (humans being 60% water)
Why lmfao
Just why would they think that's a good idea
Yeah except the pantry door is blocked by a mountain of shit. Did no one watch this movie? Or is everyone TRYING to be as stupid as CinemaSins?
@@ausinasmith96 I actually like this vid's concept of using a lesser species for the invasion. It might be cheaper/easier to just waste fodder than conduct proper studies.

I actually wouldn’t mind a sequel or perhaps another film from another families experience of this invasion. Also I wonder what sorta measures were taken in disposing the alien body lol
Disposing? 😂 😂 Governments around the world would quickly capture the bodies in an attempt to analyze and experiment on them. After that they would most likely be put in museums not in secret government facilities since they’re not a secret because the whole world saw the invasion.
@@jaasonmiller Given they supposedly left their wounded, there are enough bodies for anyone to keep lol
it would have been interesting to see peoples homes being invaded, people trying to survive during the credits, 10 mins of some unlucky few
Dead comment. Forgive me for necromancing, but I always thought it would be kind of fun to do a short fan film taking the place a few days after the invasion. Story is a government mortician doing an autopsy on one of the aliens' bodies. He's in a morgue filled with quite a few of them. Scene would end with the mortician getting ready to clean things up, when he notices one of the other bodies is now gone. Then he hears it, that signature clicking noise the aliens make behind him. I picture this shot sort of mimicking the shot with Mel in the cornfield when he hears the clicking next to him (as in we see it from the perspective of the alien looming over him). Then the scene ends. The scene would have a few "signs" that one of the "dead" aliens is actually alive, but the mortician ignores them until it's too late leading to the ending.
Oh, and one of the bodies would have a hand sticking out that is missing fingers. A cheeky lil' nod to the movie.
Torture, gather intel, and run experiments from the wounded aliens left behind.
Turns out super soaker becomes a military weapons manufacturer lol. Easy win.
I've just realized that I've never actually skipped even tho I've seen the movies
This movie scared me when I first saw it at 14. I lived in Illinois with corn fields all around my house and I had an attic trap door in my walk-in closet. My dad once went into my closet to scratch on the other side of the door to tease me... Now the movie bores me.
That's the best description of shooting something I ever heard. "Interrupting the chemical processes of life."
