I popped to the cinema this weekend for the first time in months, to watch Signs, starring the ever-marvellous Mel Gibson. It was simply the scariest thing I have ever seen. Anticipation for the film with palpable, and 20 seconds into the first scene, a girl in the front row shrieked “Oh my bloody god” as a dog barked mildly. As Mel, brandishing a knife, got closer and closer to an alien in one scene, I covered my face and peeked through my hands. The swipes of the knife grew louder, the drums beat faster, and at the climax I managed to let out an enormously girly yelp which echoed aroudn the whole cinema.
It’s quite something to have the whole cinema laughing at you.
Did they, by chance, perform the timeless Ace of Base classic “I saw the signs”…..?
