Originally released in 2000, 'Unbreakable' is like wine: it has aged well. At the time of its release, the feature film suffered from negative opinions, largely due to its mix of thriller, psychological drama, and comic books - something that was not very well understood by the public and critics. Over the years, with reruns on TV, it gained cult status, especially with the help of younger viewers, who have grown up in a world dominated by superhero movies and series. With a surprising ending - a characteristic of director M. Night Shyamalan's work (of 'The Sixth Sense') - 'Unbreakable' ended up giving birth to a new universe of fiction, which would be explored again in the feature films 'Split' and 'Glass'.
After surprising the world with the twist ending of 'The Sixth Sense' and thrilling with 'Unbreakable', filmmaker M. Night Shyamalan decided to dedicate himself to aliens in the very entertaining 'Signs'. Already considered a classic by some, the feature film plays with the protagonist's (Mel Gibson, in one of his best roles of his career) paranoia atmosphere to somehow also provoke and challenge the viewer. The familiar atmosphere of the plot, reminiscent of Steven Spielberg's productions of yesteryear, helps to set the tone. But the best part is the suspense, created from a possible alien invasion on Earth. It's hard not to get excited, scared and even afraid, at times, to keep your foot out of the blanket. One of the milestones of Shyamalan's career and, without a doubt, one of the most fun (and scary) films to celebrate alien invasions.
