Signs (2002)

Signs is a sci-fi horror film written and directed by M. Night Shyamalan. Starring Mel Gibson, Joaquin Phoenix, and Rory Culkin, the film documents a wayward priest’s return to faith after a frightening encounter with malevolent extraterrestrials.

In one particularly chilling scene, Gibson is following events on the supposed alien invasion on TV as he prepares his family for danger. A child’s birthday party in Mexico is suddenly interrupted by a most unwelcome visitor from another planet.
