Warnings - Les signes de la peur

OK, this film isn't anything special, but I was motivated to watch it because of A.J. Buckley, who plays Layne. He did the best that he could with his character, I totally enjoyed his performance. He can say everything just with his beautiful blue eyes. Whoever appreciates this actor and his work, should definitely watch this film. He's the best! The characters could have been developed a lot more, especially Layne's. He had issues with his girlfriend, but the script seemed to forget about it quite quickly. The ending felt rushed, and it sort of ruined the premise. Overall, it could have been much, much better. A.J.'s performance made it OK to watch, but the rest of the cast was weak, with the exception of Billy Zane, who wasn't given enough room to shine, though.

I saw this movie on the sci-fi channel, and I was suprised how good the story line was. I was enjoying the movie until the pitiful cartoon computer generated looking aliens showed up. They should have had men dress up as the creatures, at least they would have looked more realistic than the cartoon looking creatures. The storyline gets a 8 out of 10, but the effects get a very lousy 1 out of 10! Overall the movie I would give it about 4 1/2 out of 10!

WARNINGS......l got this film in the bargain bucket at my local video shop, and have not bothered about it for over a week, last night l decided to just look and see....l kept watching, and watching, and got really into it, it`s a great underated film, far superior to Mel Gibson's SIGNS...AJ Buckley...(not heard of him before) did a great job as the main lead character, Stephen Baldwin and Billy Zane have only minor roles but add to the film well...down side...what did the silly girl go outside for a smoke for when she knew there were "things that go bump in the night".....but l would recommend this film to all..and give it



8 out of 10

I was recently at the local video store and saw Silent Warnings on the shelf. I figured how bad can it really be? I rented it, took it home and the second everyone saw what I had rented they were scrutinizing it. I ignored thinking that a movie about aliens and crop circles really can't be completely disappointing. I popped it in the DVD player and proceeded to watch the film.

At first glance, it looks just like Signs. A farm, crop circles and the appearance of aliens in only slight amounts at first, but more prominent nearer the end.

Basically, a young man inherits his crazy cousin's farm after his death and goes there with some friends to fix the place up and sell it. After only being there for a few days they start noticing crop circles, someone disappears and they realize that, for some reason, aliens are attacking them on the farm. They do whatever they can to stay alive and figure out how to get rid of the aliens.

Silent Warnings feels like a made-for-TV budgeted film, but somehow worse. None of the main characters had any acting ability, unless you count Billy Zane as a main character, but he doesn't really have many lines so I wouldn't label him as one.

Now I guess I should be fair in respect to the acting and small budget effects. These are always expected with the typical straight-to-video, "never-heard-of-it" movies. But...Silent Warnings left one small thing out of the plot. An ending. I've never been so disappointed by the end of a movie in my life. Signs was bad, Jeepers Creepers was bad...This was awful.

All in all, I knew it wouldn't be good, but I had no idea.

Overall Rating: 2 / 10

Is Billy Zane so hard-up for work that he has to spend his time shooting aliens in this stupid mess of a film? Likewise Stephen Baldwin. . .at least his entire role consists of him alone, and was likely shot in one day. Yet another teens-in-trouble movie with the requisite quasi-sex. Why did sci-fi waste my time with this f'ing waste of film stock?
