We have no idea how the aliens perceive things. Something like a door might not stand out as it does to us. We look at things and see whether or not we can use them. If not, we data dump 'em. Consider trees: you see them, but could you pick out one tree from a similar tree in a line-up? Honestly, you cant'---you don't see trees as any more than wood or objec-in-my-way. If I took pics of five trees of the same species and you'd be hard pressed to tell me which one was the one you drove by every day. Therefore: it may be how they perceive the world rather than assuming they think like us.

Non-violence yes, everyone is called to love and respect the creation of the Lord, mankind. Thou shalt not kill. However, we are not meant to stand idly by and let atrocities happen.

While the demon theory seems to make sense at first glance the more you go over what we see in the movie the less it makes sense, at least in my opinion. My theory is: This is an actual Alien Invasion, with the Aliens main goal being the capture of humans. ("They came her for us, to harvest us") The creatures we see throughout the film however are not the masterminds behind the attack. They are simply bio engineered soldiers designed specifically for the raid on Earth. The true masterminds remain on the ships we see floating above the cites at night while their ground forces, (lets call them scouts) provide intel from the planets surface. The Scouts are designed to infiltrate and observe at night for a number of days and report back during the day before eventually capturing and retrieving the native species (Humans) in a coordinated attack. Hence their adaptive camouflage capabilities, and Poison Gas secretion. While not shown they likely had low tech radios to communicate with the ships during the day. (Why low tech ?) So that if the tech is found/stolen by the humans it isn't usable against the aliens in anyway. Because it is so primitive a means of communication it goes unnoticed by most people, only being partially picked up by Morgan's Baby Monitor. (Why do they melt from water ?) The effect water has on them is another factor of their design as disposable soldiers. ("They left some of their wounded behind") While it at first seems idiotic to send creatures so vulnerable to water to Earth you must realize that the mastermind Aliens know that some of their forces will be killed or captured. So they created them in such a way that extended exposure to Earth's atmosphere would result in the breakdown of the creatures bodies. This way any scouts captured would die regardless before any useful information or genetic material could be extracted. It also explains why they are so quick to leave any wounded behind as they can create more if they require. (Why capture Humans ?) Probably the biggest question we are left with is why are they performing this raid in the first place. Why would interstellar travelers enact such a brutal attack on humanity ?Its clear that the Aliens have little respect for human life so it may simply be for study, but the large number of humans captured in such a short time span leads me to believe they are in a desperate state of mind. Possibly suffering from some form of illness or disease. As such they captured humans in hopes of finding a cure in our genetic code. It possible they collected other animals from Earth but we do not see this at any point. While Merrill suggests ("-something scared them off") when they learn the Aliens are leaving it is more likely that the Aliens have simply collected enough humans and are returning to their home planet. The movie makes it seem like humanity won through their primitive way to beat when in when in fact they would have left regardless of what humans did. So to summarize the Aliens that we see are simply disposable soldiers sent to capture humans while the true threat remains on board their ships. Bonus: While it does seem that Colleen (the Mom) and Bo have visions of the future, their predictions are vague, or at least not definitive enough to be interpreted as real. By the end of the film, Graham chooses to believe them as such but its more of a personal belief than accepted fact. (Disclaimer SIGNS is probably one of my favorite films, I'm not saying other theories are wrong, and welcome any counter arguments provided they are friendly )

You wrote all that, i read all that, and yea ive seen signs 100 times from VHS through blue ray, really a fascinating movie. The boy went into more detail about how an agressive species COULD invade a planet and they followed about 95% of that plan, but like you mentioned, these aliens stepped UP their game here with sentient dogmen who can “blend in” with their surroundings, and the part where you think they created dogmen on purpose to specifically harvest us is a great idea i didnt think about to far… i figured maybe this is an alien race like predators who get off on “the hunt” Interesting idea the masterminds MIGHT be the OG greys who go from planet to planet selecting the best dna for harvest.

The theory is correct and Signs is one of the best movies ever made. Two more things I would like to add: The Crop Circle was a sigil for opening the gate to the Abyss which allowed the demons in. There is a whole other aspect there going on as to who made the Sigil (consciously or unconsiously), and also the closeness of the family enhances their psychic interconnection amongst one another as they are a very loving and close family. This is a very powerful aspect in their survival. Even the brother - whom I suspect may have unconsiously made the crop circle as he was a depressed/despondent and easily manipulated person for a demonic walk-in. This was also shown in how the TV took complete control of him. Great review Dave.

Another scene that comes to mind is the girl who encounters Mel Gibson's character in town later and proceeds to go through an impromptu confessional session of her wrong-doings with him, even though he's clearly disinterested, showing that as much as he thinks he's turned from his faith it's still something that people in town regard him for and that he can't manage to escape. That seems to follow the idea of all of these "prophecies" happening through the film that he's dismissive of, but ultimately culminate in the film's resolution once he accepts it all.

Not to mention that a gun is usually needed for 2 reasons on a farm: to protect livestock from predators (their farm has no livestock). Or to protect from other people. In either case, he has guard dogs that are clearly trained to attack intruders as they are implied at the beginning of the film to attack the aliens that were near the kids. Not only that but the only people that he deals with is seemingly some prankster hoodlums or whatever you call them, harmless nuisances that may not even be a consistent issue. The movie shows that he relies on the police quite often, as he is friends with the cop that comes to his house. She also got there quick so she is probably familiar with getting there often. And on top of that, when he calls the police after seeing the crop circles he speaks as though he is seaking guidance and peace from a priest, even asking for closure so that he will be comforted. So he relies on the police as a higher power you could say. His unwillingness to confront things and care about safety rather than stick his head in the sand is a consistent theme of his character, to the point that its the main reason his son prefers the brother. Him not having a gun makes more sense if anything.

Honestly this is probably the actual real plot of the film rather than just some alien invasion. Great vid, haven't heard this before but I'm glad I came across this 😊

I like this idea. I always thought a straight-up Sci-Fi film from MNS was strange, but this theory also answers that question.

Most farmers not only have a shotgun, but are pretty well armed with a variety of firearms. I am not a farmer and I’m very well armed.

It's been well received in general and the demon theory makes it worse despite all the half baked ideas people make up in their heads to support it.

OMG Demons makes so much more sense! Mind blown! I wish they'd been more explicit about it, then the movie wouldn't get made fun of so much.

@@k1_w3 crops grow out of the ground, demons come from hell, which is deep underground, therefore the crops are reacting to their evil presence getting near. Besides, a pentagram is pretty evil, and that gets written on the ground.

Lots of videos on KZitem about folks making crop circles. It isn't hard and some may even do it to mess with folks, like a former priest? If planned out, large ones can be done in a few hours, even at night.

@@James_Bee The Why Files channel has a video about crop circles, and it says 99.9% can be explained, but not all. Moreover, in this movie's universe the crop circles cannot be explained as human activity, so it doesn't matter.

The only thing I can recall as a counter to the holy water theory is that the one guy who locked the alien/demon in the pantry said something about heading to water because he thought they didn’t like it or they didn’t seem to be going near water or something like that

My brain hurts when people say if they can travel through space why can’t they open doors and take on a planet full of water? For one they didn’t come for the water planet they came to harvest the humans and as for the doors why don’t you try opening a fully barricaded door

Yes, but you never see what. The demons can camouflage, so why couldn’t flying demons do the same.
