Beth: So John, did you see the new film Signs?

John: Yeah, I just saw it this weekend actually.

Beth: How was it?

John: It was really good.

Beth: Cool. Who was in it?

John: Mel Gibson’s in it.

Beth: Is it a scary film?

John: Ya know, I guess it is. I didn’t think it was going to be, but it turned out to be pretty freaky.

Beth: The preview made it look really scary.

John: Yeah, that’s what everyone had said, but I thought anything with Mel Gibson in it would be kinda tame, but I was surprised.

Beth: It looked like there were a lot of neat scenes, like aerial shots and some cool views.

John: Yeah, there definitely were. I think the neatest thing about it was that it had an underlying theme that you didn’t realize until the very end. It’s definitely worth going to pay for and sitting through the whole thing.

Beth: Well, you’ve peaked my curiosity. I might have to go see it this weekend.

John: Ya, you definitely should and lemme know what you thought.

Discussion

According to John, the movie Signs sounds kinda scary. Movies like that can be fun to watch if you are in the mood to be scared. What’s really nice is watching a scary movie with your boyfriend or girlfriend. If you hide your face during a scary scene, they’ll can hold you and make you feel better.
Some other scary alien movies are Aliens, Close Encounters of the Third Kind and Fire in the Sky. What are some other scary alien movies? Talk about them on the Movie Madness message board!
