The guy sitting in front of me tonight let out a yelp at that part- haha.The fact that few action scenes are shown leads to a great racheting of tension:1) The dog attacking the kids2) What Gibson sees out the window before boarding up his bedroom3) The alien attack on the houseThe world existing beyond the movie:1)Such as Gibson feeling bad about possibly getting in a fight with the son of his friend. 2)The colorful townfolk.The little touches for those paying attention (or looking too hard, heh)1) Gibson suggesting they call the doctor to look at the dog- why? Because the vet in town is the guy who killed his wife.2) Symbolism throughout the movie-  a. The circles on the curtains of the window seen at the beginning and end of the movie.  b. The pantry scene had cut vegetables that were sprawled out a bit like the signs.  c. The birds-eye-view of the town seen when the family is riding into town- the sport field has a cross on it when seen from the sky.3) The blood on the vet- a bit of a scuffle with his pantry visitor?Some final rambling notes-1) The is Night of the Living Dead- replace zombies with aliens. 2) This is a War of the Worlds movie- but seen from the view point of one family, instead of a global perspective usually used for such movies.Respectfully submittedFD</blockquote>
