Yeah this alien fucked me up as a kid, this movie was absolutely wild
Like yeah the twist was a little dumb but Signs was a great movie overall. Tension for the whole family. I really enjoyed it.

I read somewhere that they weren't aliens, they were demons, and the water only worked because it was blessed, so it became holy water. What a twist!
The whole movie is a Christian allegory. It's probably one of the reasons Mel Gibson was in it.

"You know what I said about giving a Dracula movie a deceptive title? That's what I did with Signs. That was a story about a war between Heaven and Hell. The aliens were demons and the people's dead loved ones were angels."
What a twist!
