This is a TV movie by Stephen King (both the novel the movie is based on and the teleplay). I usually find Stephen King's dramas better thn his horrors, but I did enjoy Storm of the Century and The Stand (interesting that both were made for tv and not theatrical releases).
The Good:
Tom Skerritt, Steven Weber and Ron Perlman were all pretty decent in the movie.
The story itself was ok, though it seems to have been done before in one form or another.
For a tv movie it was fair.
The Bad:
The pacing was weird, not exactly "bad" but weird.
It didn't have the impending sense of doom like the other made for tv S.K. stuff.
Some of the characters were a little 2-D.
Overall: I would say that mediocrity reigns supreme in this feature. I give you as many Signs as possible to only watch this on a day where your want for a movie moves you to "Desperation".
I do think I am going to rewatch the other made-for-tv S.K. stuff though.
