Alien (Signs)

This article is about the sentient alien race featured in the movie signs, directed by M. Night Shyamalan. They are very athletic, being able to jump up to the roof of a farmhouse that is about ten feet off the ground. Their skin changes colors, giving them a camoflauge ability- which is how they remain unseen throughout most of the movie. They also have a spike that protrudes from their wrists that expels poisonous gas. Water is their weakness- shown at the end of the movie when the one in the farmhouse falls backwards into a piece of furniture, toppling a glass of water on top of it, causing the water to drip on it. The water seems to "burn" the alien and cause it great amounts of pain.

SIGNS
The aliens themselves are first encountered in the film during a news broadcast. They are then seen in person by the main leader at his associates who is injured and trapped in the pantry. The lead then cuts it's fingers off in retaliation when the creature shoves it fingers under the door.because of this the lead returns home to ask his family, do they want to stay at home(and hide) or go to the nearest river(Because the injured man mentioned the are afraid of water.

The alien invasion starts.some aliens arrive(by means of unknown transportation. And come out of the crop field. They attack the house, which had been barricaded earlier by the family who have hidden in the basement. One alien grabs the main leads son through a coal shaft, in the chaos the light is smashed. The creature is repelled but the child has an Asthma attack, the family survive 2 days in the basement they leave after they hear the military has found away the force them off the planet.

When the leave the enter the living room the lead goes to find his son inhaler as his brother and daughter get the TV as they pull it in they notice the reflection... One was in the house all along and had taken the son hostage. The uncle then attacks the alien with his trophy bat (which was mounted on the wall). He discovers that the aliens are almost allergic to water he smashes a cup of water over it the water burns it's skin. The alien is then killed and the father saves his son.

Now will somebody who isn't a braindead moron who can find out that words after full stops are meant to have a space in between them and finds out that MEL GIBSON was the lead please clean this article up and add some relevant information about the species instead of summing up the 3rd act of the plot and making the main characters seem like an army squad? Seriously, the Wikipedia article on the movie has more information on the species than this article does.

Trivia
