I'm with you on this one, because the alternative repulses me. Works like Signs portray some awful thing as a God-ordained necessity, a sacrifice for the greater good, and I always want to scream at the screen, "How can you accept this? How can you make it 'okay' to sacrifice a human life like that?"

It's a horror movie, much like Supernatural is a horror series. It's supposed to seem repulsive and fundamentally broken, because that's the core of the horror - not the monsters in the setting, but the fact that the powerful entity that is supposed to cherish and protect people in actuality at best doesn't give a damn unless they pay the toll, and at worst looks at humans the way a particularly nasty six-year-old looks at the anthill they're about to torch.

The idea of a good and just god is a cultural touchstone in the Western world, and even atheists have typically grown up steeped in a mythology built on it - if not at home, then a school, or through fiction. Turning that expected narrative on its head is disquieting, and it's meant to be.

That... that was so not the aim of Signs at all. That's why the guy goes back to being a reverend or whatever at the end. Because he found his faith in God again because what his dying wife said actually ~meant something~.

The horror in Signs was 100% meant to be the alien invasion.
