Claudio Carvalho After the accidental death of his cousin Joe Vossimer (Stephen Baldwin), the just-graduated electronic engineer Layne Vossimer (A.J. Buckley) joins his girlfriend and four friends of them to visit and clean the inherited farm in the country. The local Sheriff Bill Willingham (Billy Zane) is an old friend of Layne, and also grieves the death of Joe. When the group arrives in the farm, some weird and mysterious signs appear in the cornfield, but they believe the other locals are joking with them. When Iris Doyle (Kim Onasch) vanishes, the rest of the group realizes that there is a serious menace jeopardizing that place."Warnings" is a ridiculous horror-sci-fi movie, a shameful ripoff of "Signs", inclusive using a location identical to Mel Gibson's farm. What else can I write about a movie where the participation of "the great actor" (of course I am being ironical…) Stephen Baldwin is less than five minutes, only to give his name to the credits? I have just glanced some IMDb reviews, and their titles are enough to describe and comment this crap:a) "Stupid";b) "Awful";c) "WHAT A JOKE...,";d) "My God, Save Your Money!";e) "Garbage";f) "What a complete waste of time";g) "What a rip-off";h) "Total 'Signs' Rip-Off".My vote is three.Title (Brazil): "Aviso Mortal" ("Mortal Warning")
scherr If I hadn't seen SIGNS i might have been impressed by the whole cornfield/alien angle. But its been done before and I was hoping this film would take a whole new angle. It doesn't. Billy Zane looks like he's on drugs. Some time is spent revealing who the characters are and how they relate to each other, there's an obligatory semi nude scene but its pointless - all the characters are shallow and uninteresting IMHO. Considering the technology these aliens must have there are holes in the plot large enough to drive a monster truck through. NEVER have I seen such woefully depicted monsters/aliens. I know this thing was made on a budget but if they couldn't use CGI properly then stick to rubber suits. Forget the comparisons to SIGNS - this one STINKS!
sarastro7 Of course, it was obvious that it was a rip-off of Signs, but I didn't quite know what to make of Signs, so I thought this might provide a more wholesome movie experience. It started out well. After the main character's cousin mysteriously dies in a car crash, this guy and five college friends of his go to the cousin's house in a corn field near a small rural village. It's a good set-up, and there is a very nice and natural dynamic between all the characters, leading one to think that there might actually be a good story in here somewhere.Unfortunately, there isn't. The interesting character interactions, which you want to see developed, get cut short by some silly nonsense about anonymous grey aliens. The end is a meaningless fizzle, where you can't tell if the alien invasion is retreating or advancing.The movie starts out having a point, but ends up having none. 4 out of 10.
Tom Smith Save yourself a complete waste of 2 hours. "Silent Warnings" is a complete waste of time. How Billy Zane could involve himself with this pretense of a film, I don't know. I can only assume he owed a friend or something like that. He's too good an actor to be involved with this piece of trash.
