I thought it was sort - of OK up until the point where Night revealed that the alien invaders could be defeated by throwing water on them, a plot device so idiotic that even Ed Wood would have rejected it. I guess Night doesn't know that our atmosphere contains substantial amounts of water. Having the aliens saunter about unprotected from the water in the air is equivalent to having humans walk around naked on a planet with a sulphuric acid atmosphere like that on Venus. It's astoundingly stupid, in other words. I was also bothered that no one in the movie seemed to give a moment's consideration to wondering if the aliens were benign. And the whole religious sub - theme struck me as contrived too.
What is this, Gremlins in reverse?Thank Lynch I've made it a policy to avoid his films.

The difference would be that by Ed Wood it would have turn cult some thirty years later, here we have no chance to see the same pheneomena. The first part was just playing with the spectator which of course is legitim as long you donīt see the ropes.
Helas, they are very gross. But for the first fifteen minutes I was intrigue too,then...
The rest is as you said.
Plainly stupid and empty.
Made for debile. ( sound arrogant? good...)
Another difference between Signs and Plan 9 From Outer Space is that the latter rewards repeated viewing and the former does not. There's so much hilariously bad moviemaking in Plan 9 that you can't possibly catch all of it in one viewing.My favorite Plan 9 line: "All you of Earth are idiots!
Yes, so beautifully dilettante, that it is fascinating, even if I manage to only have one viewing of Plan9...
As for the above cited sentance, it is not far from the truth.
The religious part was like a version for the poor from " The exorsist ".
Bad. Very bad.
That I have no connection to the film whatsoever. And no, I didn't much care for Signs either.Tough crowd ;-)
