Roger Ebert: Review: Signs. In: rogerebert.com. Abgerufen am 28. Dezember 2008 (englisch): „M. Night Shyamalan’s Signs is the work of a born filmmaker, able to summon apprehension out of thin air. When it is over, we think not how little has been decided, but how much has been experienced […] At the end of the film, I had to smile, recognizing how Shyamalan has essentially ditched a payoff. He knows, as we all sense, that payoffs have grown boring.“
