10 Insane Movie Fan Theories That Sort Of Make Sense

7. The Aliens Are Actually Demons - Signs

alienssignssized Signs is a very interesting movie in that it is an extremely divisive one. Personally, I think that it holds some wonderful and truly haunting scenes in its discovery of aliens who have invaded this former preacher€™s home in a slow-burn of a scheme to announce their arrival before invading and taking over. The film comes under a lot of heat for the ending, which has the aliens attacking the home of the primary characters (Mel Gibson, Joaqin Phoenix, Rory Culkin, and Abigail Breslin). Abigail Breslin€™s character has a nervous tick in which she can never finish a glass of water, so the ominously-filmed glasses find themselves in about every interior shot in the film. When an alien actually gets in the home, Phoenix iscovers the alien€™s reaction to pure water, and utilizes the reaction to free his home. This poses the obvious question as to €˜why aliens who are allergic to something would invade a planet which is 70% this material€™. Even though Shaymalan has disavowed this theory, the question has been answered - the aliens are actually demons, and the reason the water can burn them is because it is in the house of a minster, and the water is holy. It actually makes sense in the context of the film, and brings the religious aspects of the film completely home, and it€™s entertaining enough to make the Dean Winchester in all of us very proud.
