Signs
Signs is one of M Night Shyamalan’s most divisive films but, at its core, it’s very similar to A Quiet Place. Set on a rural farmhouse, Signs follows the Hess family during a global catastrophe. After a series of crop circles start appearing around the world, questions start to be raised about whether aliens are real and whether they’re about to attack. Instead of focusing on the aliens though, Signs puts its focus on the family in the middle of it. The relationships between the characters are what keep the film interesting, with the secrets they all withhold playing vital parts to story at hand.
Story-wise, it’s similar to A Quiet Place due to its geographical setting and the monsters that plague the world but, for the most part, the similarities lie with the relationships. Signs wouldn’t work without the brilliant chemistry between its cast and the fact you truly believe these people are a family. If you liked the family dynamic that A Quiet Place had to offer, then you’ll find a very similar one in Signs, along with a great sci-fi backdrop.
