***SPOILERS*** Decent and straightforward clone of the previous years,2002, Mel Gibson movie "Signs" without the heavy religious overtones of the original.
We see right away that things aren't going too good at the old Vossimer farm. Crazy Joe Vossimer, Stephen Bladwin, has been under attack by these unseen, by everyone but Joe, aliens from other space that made his 40 acer cornfield their home. Even though Joe had somehow found how to battle the aliens it seems that it was still too late for the rest of humanity, as well as Crazy Joe, in that he drunkenly got himself killed by his own hand as he was partying, all by himself, the night away.
It was now up to crazy Joe's close relative the just graduated electronic major Layne, A.J Buckley, and his fellow graduating student friends to be the one's to save the world together with the help of the town sheriff Bill Willingham, Billy Zane. It's not that Layne & Co. were out to save the world all they wanted to do was have a good time refurbishing the Old Vossimer home & Farm and have put it, by Layne, on sale. It was that's how things just turned out in that they were designated by fate, or a power beyond their control, to battle an alien invasion of the earth that they accidentally came upon.
Not expecting to find what they eventually did the young people were just having a good time doing their thing, besides cleaning up the place, in the wilds of rural Oregon until things started to get a bit weird! Like these strange crop circles popping up all over the cornfield like weeds in your backyard. At first thinking that the crop circles were the work of a few local sh*t kicking farmhands it soon became obvious, in them being both overly drunk and utterly brainless, that it was the work of some higher form of intelligence possibly from another planet.
It was Layne who at first suspected something wasn't kosher when he found in the attic a number of video tapes made by Crazy Joe explaining his paranoia of aliens from outer space. It's later when one of Layne's friends Maurice, Ransford Doherty, while peeping through the keyhole of sexy Iris Doyle's, Kim Onasch, room as she was undressing that he saw, besides Iris undressed, a alien shape in her window! Blowing his cover Maurice ended up barreling into Iris' room exposing himself as a peeping Tom, or Maurice, but at the same time alerting his fellow students and friends that there are aliens out there and their up to no good.
It still took a while for Layne and his friends to finally get the picture that they and the earth was under attack, from aliens from outer space, but when they did it was almost too late in that the aliens had already gotten the upper hand as well as done in a number of them. It's when Sheriff Willingham, who finally got off his a**, came on the scene that the battle for the Vossimer Farm took a sudden and dramatic turn for the better.
****SPOILERS**** It became obvious, from what Crazy Joe left behind on the farm, that the aliens were somehow unable to fend off anything made of pure iron as well as it being electrified by connected to an electric current. It's that secret that Sheriff Willingham found out, through Crazy Joe's video's and writings, that in the end turned the tide against the invisible and materializing, from out of thin air, aliens.
Making the ultimate sacrifice in preventing the aliens from taking over the Vossimer Farm as well as zapping Layne and his friends, or what was left of them, Sheriff Willingham stopped them dead, or hot, in their tracks. It was just too bad that the rest of the world, or the United State's West Coast, didn't have other men of sheriff Willingham's insight courage conviction and determination as well. As we soon find out in the movie's shocking and disturbing final moments.
