As we prep for the Alien Thriller Disclosure Day from Steven Spielberg, we visit M Night Signs! Signs (2002) Full Movie Reaction & Review with Tara Erickson and Jackie Bonsignore! Signs Full Movie Uncut Watch Along: https://www.patreon.com/thereelrejects - Check out the DC Studios: Showcase Podcast HERE https://app.magellan.ai/listen_links/7wrn94 - Support The Channel By Getting Some REEL REJECTS Apparel! https://www.rejectnationshop.com/ In this highly anticipated movie review and reaction, Tara and Jackie conquer a brilliant slow-burn rewatch that perfectly mirrors the escalating dread of a modern extraterrestrial declassification event. We unpack the phenomenal performances of the legendary stellar cast, featuring Mel Gibson (Braveheart, Lethal Weapon) bringing deep emotional grief as the lapsed minister Graham Hess, Joaquin Phoenix (Gladiator, Joker) as his supportive, minor-league baseball-playing brother Merrill Hess, and Rory Culkin (Succession, Scream 4) as the analytical young son Morgan Hess. We also celebrate the incredible early career debut of Abigail Breslin (Little Miss Sunshine, Zombieland) as the adorable, water-obsessed daughter Bo Hess, alongside critical supporting roles from Cherry Jones (24, The Handmaid's Tale) as Officer Caroline Paski and M. Night Shyamalan (The Sixth Sense, Unbreakable) in a pivotal, guilt-ridden cameo as Ray Reddy. Our hosts react to every single iconic jump scare, atmospheric visual clue, and brilliant narrative payoff that hits completely differently in the wake of real-world disclosure trends. We break down the absolute shock of discovering the initial massive crop circle patterns, the creeping suspense of tracking alien reconnaissance frequencies on an old baby monitor walkie-talkie, and the legendary, spine-chilling Brazil birthday party found-footage reveal that left our hosts completely terrified. We dissect the heavy psychological weight of Graham recounting his late wife Colleen’s final words, before diving straight into the terrifying climax where the family boards up the house, retreats into a claustrophobic coal shoot basement, and faces a lone alien up close. Tara and Jackie wrap up by analyzing the absolute genius of the final "swing away" baseball bat sequence, where Bo’s abandoned glasses of tap water become the ultimate defense weapon, and Morgan's closed asthmatic lungs miraculously protect him from lethal poison gas. #SignsMovie #SignsReaction #DisclosureDay #UFOFiles #AlienInvasion #MelGibson #JoaquinPhoenix #AbigailBreslin #ReelRejects #WatchAlong #FirstTimeWatching #SignsReview #CropCircles #Declassification #SwingAway WORLD WAR Z (2013) MOVIE REACTION: https://youtu.be/QTGnhYBp1jI MEN IN BLACK 3 MOVIE REACTION: https://youtu.be/syCIn74m2jA HARRY POTTER & THE HALF-BLOOD PRINCE MOVIE REACTION: https://youtu.be/yTVYG-oFbfM Follow *Jackie Bonsignore* Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jackiebonsignore/ Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jackiebonsignore Band Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lucythebandofficial Follow *Tara Erickson* https://www.youtube.com/@TaraErickson https://www.instagram.com/taraerickson/ https://twitter.com/thetaraerickson 0:00 Checking In! 1:38 Signs Reaction 30:37 DC STUDIOS 32:45 Signs Movie Reaction 55:30 Signs Movie Review Intense Suspense by Audionautix is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ RR Clips & Shorts Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@ReelRejectsClips Follow TheReelRejects On The Socials: IG: https://www.instagram.com/reelrejects/ TT: https://www.tiktok.com/@thereelrejects?lang=en TWITTER: https://twitter.com/thereelrejects FB: https://www.facebook.com/TheReelRejects/ Music Used In Ad: Hat the Jazz by Twin Musicom is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Happy Alley by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Supervising Producer: https://twitter.com/nerdchronic?lang=en Co-Editor: Greg Alba Co-Editor: John Humphrey Music In Video: Airport Lounge - Disco Ultralounge by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Follow & Listen to Us Wherever You Get Your Podcasts!! - Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3XHMwbveiznxSOGxN9XT0M - Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5tZWdhcGhvbmUuZm0vc3Rhci13YXJzLXRhbGs - Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-reel-rejects-tv-movie-recaps/id1616339990 - Audible: https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Apocalypse-Podcast/B08JJP58FG PLAYLISTS: Movie Reviews: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw-comtadVs8b9JsZEWHUyr8 Youtube Video Reactions & Discussions: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw_qwcPsN_vOxXC6IVzrOQYG

We all can agree that the scene where they showed the footage from the birthday party terrified us as kids right? Right???

I’m so used to Roxy’s stoicism during scary movies. It’s refreshing having two reactors that jump at the jump scares. 😂

I first watched Signs at a drive in movie theater. It was a little foggy that night, and I was parked right next to some woods. Definitely added to the viewing experience. I love this movie.

Merrill grabbing that wall-mounted baseball bat and absolutely letting loose on the alien because of Colleen's final words is one of the most brilliant narrative payoffs ever! - Check out the DC Studios: Showcase Podcast HERE https://app.magellan.ai/listen_links/7wrn94 - Hit *LIKE & SUBSCRIBE* for more https://www.youtube.com/user/TheReelRejects?sub_confirmation=1 - Catch our completely raw, feature-length *Watch-Along* video for Signs over on Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/thereelrejects - Grab your official *REEL REJECTS* apparel and premium channel merch right here: https://www.rejectnationshop.com/

I really want someone from Reject Nation to do The Village. It’s one of my favs of his, and I loved Joaquin and Bryce Dallas Howard’s performance. She is amazing in it.

That fact that Jackie is also reacting to Scary Movie 3 today which is a parody of Signs is hilarious

The sound design on this film is very underrated. Subtle, but so effective.
