Silent Warnings

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")

I was recently at the local video store and saw Silent Warnings on the shelf. I figured how bad can it really be? I rented it, took it home and the second everyone saw what I had rented they were scrutinizing it. I ignored thinking that a movie about aliens and crop circles really can't be completely disappointing. I popped it in the DVD player and proceeded to watch the film.

At first glance, it looks just like Signs. A farm, crop circles and the appearance of aliens in only slight amounts at first, but more prominent nearer the end.

Basically, a young man inherits his crazy cousin's farm after his death and goes there with some friends to fix the place up and sell it. After only being there for a few days they start noticing crop circles, someone disappears and they realize that, for some reason, aliens are attacking them on the farm. They do whatever they can to stay alive and figure out how to get rid of the aliens.

Silent Warnings feels like a made-for-TV budgeted film, but somehow worse. None of the main characters had any acting ability, unless you count Billy Zane as a main character, but he doesn't really have many lines so I wouldn't label him as one.

Now I guess I should be fair in respect to the acting and small budget effects. These are always expected with the typical straight-to-video, "never-heard-of-it" movies. But...Silent Warnings left one small thing out of the plot. An ending. I've never been so disappointed by the end of a movie in my life. Signs was bad, Jeepers Creepers was bad...This was awful.

All in all, I knew it wouldn't be good, but I had no idea.

Overall Rating: 2 / 10

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.

Is Billy Zane so hard-up for work that he has to spend his time shooting aliens in this stupid mess of a film? Likewise Stephen Baldwin. . .at least his entire role consists of him alone, and was likely shot in one day. Yet another teens-in-trouble movie with the requisite quasi-sex. Why did sci-fi waste my time with this f'ing waste of film stock?

Went to my local video store. My wife show mew this film silent warning. The

description in the back looks promising and there are some praise like , will keep you to the edge of your seat and stuff like that that are made by some film critics.

all right ....film rental cost me $1.15 with taxes. The film started with Baldwin that seems to be turning nuts and die while trying to kill something in his corn field. A prelude to what looked like a promising little suspense and spooky film. But

things fell down from that point on.....I did not saw the movie signs but i thought to myself that it must be looking very similar.....Anyhow......Baldwin cousin inherits its house and he decide to go there with his girlfriend and 3 of his friends to put back the house into shape ....during the week they spend

there..They will hear noise , see circle appearing in the corn field, see strange creature shadow and then 2 of them would get kill by the aliens....althought the script was probably very good and so the book if there is one, This movie failed to provide viewer with a good plot and building suspense and scares.
