FreddysFingersSigns: An Example of Hitchcockian Horror
#1
So I was thinking after watching Signs the other night, that the movie is a great example of Hitchcockian horror at it's finest. The story is centralized in one place (for the most part) and the camera doesn't let the audiences see everything that is going on. It keeps you on suspense and doesn't let up. There are numerous scenes that I can talk about from Signs that prove this point but I don't want the make the post too long.

Signs still freaks me out after all these years and I was wondering if I was the only one who noticed this. Would you say Signs pays tribute to the late Master of Suspense?

The script, the characters, the design and the camerawork are all amazing. This is a great example of a true suspense flick.
