The movie isn’t about aliens. You never see a spaceship. There’s no technology displayed by them at any point.
They’re monsters or demons that take the form of people’s fears. Everyone who describes what they fear in the “others” are proven correct, and what defeats them is faith and hope.
In the end over the radio, they never actually say what specifically defeated them, but that the tide turned in the holy lands.
Yep, the movie makes a lot more sense with this in mind. Also, the aliens aren’t hurt by any water. It’s water that the priest’s daughter, who is called “special” several times in the movie, has left all over the house. The water has been blessed by her without her realizing it, it’s holy water.
