SIGNS. I was maybe 7 or 8 when I was in the same room as my parents watching it, I still have terrible nightmares about aliens

That movie STILL creeps me out and I watched it as an adult the first time. I don't know what it is exactly that did it, but the way they hid their appearance from you much of the movie was a big impact.

Oh my god thank god I am not the only one scarred by that movie (sorry).

I was also around that age I believe and that night I had a nightmare of an alien coming into my room.

I even watched war of the worlds before signs which tells kind of a more grim story but it didn't come close to signs in scare factor. I guess signs feels really relatable with the family setting and them getting attacked in their house which most people would consider the safest and most comfortable place in earth.

I really should see signs again to get over it.
