The 4K UHD Blu-ray release of "Signs" offers a marked upgrade over its 2008 predecessor, featuring a 2160p HEVC/H.265 transfer with an improved HDR10 grade that enhances detail, contrast, and color palette—especially in outdoor and shadow-heavy scenes. While Dolby Vision is absent, the vibrant HDR highlights and fine textures in day and night sequences alongside the newfound lossless DTS-HD MA audio mix make for a highly compelling audiovisual presentation that surpasses prior editions.

Audio: 86

The 4K UHD Blu-ray release of "Signs" delivers a DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track that offers clean dialogue and immersive ambient sound, skillfully engaging surround channels to enhance the film's eerie atmosphere. However, the lack of a Dolby Atmos mix for more dynamic scenes is notable yet doesn't detract from the overall effective sound design.

Extra: 64

The 4K UHD release of "Signs" is a barebones movie-only disc accompanied by a 2008 Blu-ray, which hosts recycled and dated supplemental material from the 2003 Vista Series DVD. The extras, although lacking updates, include deleted scenes, a making-of documentary, storyboard features, and a snippet of Shyamalan's youthful film, all in standard definition, with a digital copy included.

Movie: 78

"Signs" captivates with its mastery of suspense and emotional depth, blending personal human drama with sci-fi tension. This 4K UHD Blu-ray release impresses technically, offering filmic visuals and immersive sound design while retaining its foundational themes of faith and coincidence. However, the plausible plot conveniences and alien vulnerability remain points of contention.
