Signs makes its Ultra HD Blu-ray debut with a 4K HDR10 remaster that significantly enhances visual detail and contrast, showcasing crisp detailing and a robust color palette, though occasionally hindered by minimal CGI. Despite some grain variations, the upgrade from the 2008 Blu-ray is dramatic, offering improved shadows and color saturation reflective of the film's artistic design, while maintaining English DTS-HD MA 5.1 audio for clear dialogue and impactful soundscapes.

Audio: 87

The 4K UHD Blu-ray release of "Signs" boasts a DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track, maintaining the atmospheric sound design with clear dialogue and effective use of surround channels, though lacking an immersive Dolby Atmos or DTS:X mix. While the audio upgrade is subtle from the previous LPCM 5.1, the dynamic presence and integration of low-frequency effects enrich the experience.

Extra: 61

The "Signs" 4K UHD Blu-ray impresses with a first-rate LPCM 5.1 soundtrack, replicating the original theatrical mix with high technical sophistication for an engaging audio experience. Yet, it lacks on-disc supplements, merely repackaging legacy extras from a 2003 DVD, providing no modern additions.

Movie: 79

Signs is a masterful blend of suspense, human drama, and cinematic homage, where M. Night Shyamalan crafts a gripping narrative by leveraging minimal alien appearances for maximum tension. While criticized for plot conveniences and the aliens' water vulnerability, its clever storytelling, solid performances, and impactful sound design ensure it remains a noteworthy entry in Shyamalan's oeuvre.
