Signs overrated? Lol. People are always split on that film. I for one love it, though. Even more than The Shining.

Shyamalan vs Kubrick. Hmmm.....

I really love them both but the shining is better

( ยด_?`)

One thing I don't like about Shyamalan (besides the dozens of easier things to hate about him) is how his movies always feel intentionally dumb. Like that scene where the guy's watching an alien sighting on TV, and he goes "move, children! Vamanos!" Ok, that's supposed to be funny, I'm supposed to laugh. Seconds later we get an alien shock scare. DUNNN. Now I'm supposed to be scared. It's this constant rollercoaster mentality, like it's meant for the lowest audience possible.

I think Shining is way more complex and perplexing than Signs.

The Shining win by a whole lot Signs is still really good though
