Although M. Night Shyamalan’s earlier horror success quickly made him a Hollywood legend, his penchant for twist endings went a bit too far with a divisive sci-fi blockbuster from 2002. Not all of M. Night Shyamalan’s movies actually have twist endings, but it is still easy to see how the director’s name became synonymous with shocking last-second revelations. Signs Was Originally Released On August 2, 2002The story of a family whose farm is besieged by aggressive aliens, Signs is a rare family-friendly horror movie that generates some genuine chills. Compared to iconic sci-fi horror movies like Aliens, the ending of Signs was a letdown that felt all the more annoying thanks to the effective, genuinely haunting build-up that preceded the twist. Unlike the later Cowboys Vs Aliens, Signs was far from a flop, but its retrospective reviews couldn’t get past that corny twist, and this soon meant that later M. Night Shyamalan movies had a progressively harder time shocking viewers.
