Signs (film)

Signs (2002) is a film by M. Night Shyamalan starring Mel Gibson and Joaquin Phoenix.

Gibson plays an Episcopalian minister who "has been shut down by a devastating life experience." Although the plot revolves around crop circles, its producer, Frank Marshall, said, "It's really about human emotions set in motion by a supernatural event." Shyamalan, who plays a neighbor in the film, was inspired by The Invasion of the Body Snatchers and The Birds.
