15 Awful Endings That Ruined Potentially Great Films
8. Signs (2002)
Signs was never going to be a great film at any point. But this film is representative of a career that showed great promise and tanked in the end. When The Sixth Sense came out, we all thought M. Night Shyamalan was a genius. The Unbreakable came out and we though cool, what else have you got? And his answer was Signs. And we said Oh, no. No, no, no. And he said yes, why not? This pattern seems to have been repeated ad nauseam ever since. The Ending That Ruined The Film Another example of how, when an unstoppable alien invasion is brought to a film, writers struggle to justify its ending. In this case the aliens terrorizing the farming family have an aversion to water. As such, it became a film where a water balloon was the worlds most deadly weapon. It is pretty dumb and actually one of Shyamalans worst twists to boot, which is really saying something.
