My Milk Cow Brings All The Greys To The Farm: Signs (2002)

49 minutes

We're talking M. Night Shyamalan's Signs (2002) this week on the Nightmare on Film Street horror movie podcast, and we're feeling the rural horror love. Join your horror hosts Kimmi and Jon as they dissect the emotions from the facts, and get down to the real meat of it; why would aliens who have a weakness to water wage war on a planet that's 80% wet?

We've got corn. We've got crop circles. We've got crackling baby monitors. We've got shadows on the roof. We've got... surprisingly few cows?

Signs (2002) stars Mel Gibson as Graham Hess, a former preacher turned farmer who's lost his faith after a family tragedy. Living on a Pennsylvania farm with his brother Merrill (Joaquin Phoenix) and his two kids, Morgan (Rory Culkin) and Bo (Abigail Breslin), Graham starts noticing some seriously weird stuff around his property. As the Hess family tries to figure out what's going on and fight off some not-very-persistent extraterrestrials (save for one that's got a personal vendetta to settle), they confront their deepest fears and find strength in each other.

So, grab your tinfoil hats and join us as we dive into the mystery and corn-filled madness of Signs (2002). We'll debate alien invasion logistics, question the tactical genius of water-phobic extraterrestrials, and maybe even throw in a few corn puns for good measure. No, we definitely will.
