While I completely agree, I'll do the apologist thing in case it helps anyone enjoy the film (or just sleep better).

spoilers for Signs (2002), of course

The aliens are actually demons or vampires
the water is holy water, either due to the ex-minister praying over his daughter, out of old habits, or due to some act of the angel of her dead mother

It's weak, but I guess it's more reasonable than "space faring aliens visit poison world for giggles".

I also like to allow for the aliens just being really stupidly desperate for some untold reason. But I'll admit it's a stretch to help me enjoy the film.

I just know one of those aliens came out in a place it was raining. As they left the ship they immediately began to hurt, complaining to each other. "Fuck we fucked up, this is NOT good! Who checked the specs on this planet? I bet it was Steve again.... Fucking Steve"

Lol. My head-canon for this film in all future watches will be that the aliens are thinking "fucking Steve!".
