I like the holy water fan theory. They were not aliens but demons and all of the glasses of water were blessed when Mel Gibson regained his faith
I thought that was the actual reason and not just a fan theory?
"The characters in that movie called them aliens, but it was never explicitly demonstrated what they were or why they were on earth. People are much more accepting of aliens these days, and the idea was that if demons appeared among us, they would be perceived as aliens."

If it had been talking about demons at all during the movie this would eliminate my major problem with the movie.
There just weren’t enough rules about the universe demonstrated to the viewer to know what’s going on.
And I know Shyamalan is capable of this because he did such a good job with this in The Sixth Sense and Unbreakable.
I’m not mad, I’m just disappointed.
Which would work if the aliens were only attacking his farm and not the entire planet.
On the radio it mentioned that people had discovered an old technique to fight them, there are other priests on earth
And Toto has Africa pretty well covered.
I needed that chuckle.
Clearly Mel Gibson blessed all of that water, too. Is there anything that guy can't do with his faith? (Besides make a watchable movie?)
