Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!

HottWwjdIam There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.

zorrek Similar story to 'Signs' and although it has several actors I'm not a big fan of it manages to be a better movie than Signs. Mysterious crop circles turn out to be more than just a prank. Unfortunately the casting of Billy Zane in this movie was not. Who ever suggested to Billy Zane that he could act should seriously reconsider their position in the food chain. Thankfully Zane's role as Sheriff is small enough that, yet another attempt of his at acting has little impact on the movie. This movie is low gore, low FX and is better for it. Very good performances by everyone except Zane, excellent directing and editing. Script had room for improvement but over all a good effort. Not award winning cinema but well worth watching.

Theo Robertson One reason horror movies aren't well regarded amongst critics is down to the fact that in order for the plot to work the characters have to do stupid things like wander around a dark woodland knowing fine well that people have disappeared in that location . In other words logic flies out the window . One other reason for the low regard of this genre is that plots have been done to death and the horror film has lost its lustre down to really rank repetition . SILENT WARNINGS is a case in point As soon as the characters are introduced I let out a very audible sigh . We're introduced to the staple diet of American horror movies - horny teenagers . This a diet that's been dished out to audiences for over 30 years and anyone who once had an appetite for this type of movie must now surely be suffering from a cinematic eating disorder . However at least the story does have some originality in that it doesn't rip off HALLOWEEN . Instead it rips off a couple of other horror/sci-fi classics . Can you guess what they are ? I'll give you a clue . One of them also featured crop circles in a cornfield and starred Mel Gibson while the other is a 1967 Hammer horror movie based on a 1957 BBC play by Nigel Kneale . Even the the title of conjures up images of the Gibson movie and I guess that's why this movie isn't called WARNING SIGNS I will be somewhat merciful in this review and take into account that this is a very cheap direct to DVD film shot in Bulgaria . At least the director has picked a location that resembles the American Mid West . Strange to think that both Stephen Baldwin and Billy Zane were once relatively well known prolific actors but I can't recall the last time either appeared in a fairly successful movie and I doubt if SILENT WARNINGS made any casting directors sit up and take notice . The rest of the cast are alright in rather clichéd roles and if you're in to horror or SF movies then you may find this movie a harmless enough time waster

doctorgonzo23 I feel that the other comments made about this movie do not exactly do it justice. I just rented and watched a copy of it last night, and I feel a little more generous than some of the other posters. Firstly, one has to address the fact that this movie is highly derivative of "Signs". Basicaly, the premise is the same. Crop circles mysteriously appear in a farmer's field and trouble ensues.The acting is about what you would expect. Baldwin is far too over the top to really appreciate, but Billy Zane does a great job, as do most of the actors that portray the college kids trying to fix up the old farm house.The CGI aliens are not done very well and look really fake. The build up of tension throughout the movie, however, is well done. There are some scenes where I couldn't help but jump and, in general, I think that this movie actually did a better job of interpreting the possible uses of crop circles better than signs. In this movie, the circles are used as a type of portal system for the aliens to get from place to place. In terms of a further comparison with signs, the ending is a lot more bleak.I felt that signs included a cheesy supernatural element that, thankfully, was mostly absent from this film. Don't rent it expecting to see something on the same scale of Signs, but if you liked it and the ideas it presented, you should get some enjoyment out of this as well.

apilon Went to my local video store. My wife show mew this film silent warning. Thedescription 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. Butthings 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 spendthere..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.
