MCT:August 28, 2008Even if I know that I have to refrain from watching movies like this one, I somehow find it difficult to do so. I don't think I can trade stifled screams with a box of tissues yet.
The Signal started with pretty disturbing images and I thought I was in for a horrific 100minutes or so. I was sort of expecting jump-out-of-my-seat moments but those came on the first act of the film. I had to turn down the volume just so I wouldn't be scared out of watching it. The second part was a bit odd...things started to get a bit incoherent and I was confused whether I was watching a horror flick or a comedy. The third part was when things got a whole lot more chaotic. I was kinda lost about which scenes were real and which were only imagined by the main characters --- and for this reason, I think I have to see this movie again.
Guys, this is one of those horror flicks that would mess with your mind so if your looking for a mindless slasher flick, you stay away from this one. But if you enjoy getting headaches not just from the gore, the swearing and the psychological horror, this might just be a good pick for late-night viewing. -
MCT:August 26, 2008This is a bloody apocalyptic disaster film with three segments.It starts creepy & intense but then it loses it's way with the second segment that turns out to be a satire & the characters were irritating.Halfway of the movie i was getting bored & the signal transmission was putting me to sleep.

Another horror bloodbath, with nice humorous touches amidst the devastation. Signal from televisions turns people into raging psychopaths. Stop me if you've heard this one. But nicely done, and some sympathetic characterizations of the violent crazies, which consist of just about everybody. Early-Cronenbergian, with a twist or two.

MCT:August 24, 2008A horror movie dipped in sci-fi in thee parts directed by 3 different people. It is weird n sometimes funny. I like the second part the most . The plot involves a mysterious signal altering mindset n creating mayhem in the city of Terminus.
Again a good concept in a low budget horror which needed a bit more depth in script. -

Low budget horror movie with a touch of sci-fi thrown in for good measure; this violent and gory film starts with an interesting concept but staggers to a predictable conclusion. Mediocre acting and attempts at black humor sink the story until all we are left with is alot of irrational behavior and people bloodied and/or pummelled to death.

an independent, psychological thriller/horror clusterfuck.
It had 3 stories and POV's within the film... umm... it's very hard to explain and I'm not going to bother to explain how they were working it.
This film is basically about some mysterious signal through TVs, cellphones, etc. etc. that makes everyone go crazy and kill each other.... (Kinda like Pulse... but they don't kill themselves they kill everyone else...) Um... at the same time there is this twisted love story meshed up in it....
From the beginning to about the end I was cracking up.
Like literally throughout watching this I was like, "ROFLMFAO! WTF am I watching!?!?!"
It was like a B-movie... especially in the beginning..... the first segment was the one that made me go "wtf" the most. I guess I said, "wtf" less later on because I eventually threw my hands up and just kept watching.....
I think the second segment was my favorite though... because the first segment was all suspenseful and shit then it's like they went from that mood right into a satire-like/comedic mood in the second segment. This segment made me laugh out loud the most.
So it's like they went from one thing to another in each segment. The last segment was the most dramatic AND most confusing... and the end is just like, "....ooookay?"
This film is gorey and bloody as fuck and even during some of the segments I was laughing at how ridiculously violent this film is. Not to mention the acting slightly bugged me..... but I couldn't get too mad at it because I thought, "mkay: 1. this is just an independent film and 2. these are a bunch of younger actors just starting off, so they're not gonna be fuckin' Ben Kingsley at this point.
"
.....yup..... wouldn't really recommend this unless you just love movie gore, blood, and violence because they have that a plenty in this one. Hell some parts even made ME cringe... and that's saying a lot, mang. Haha.
This film made me end up saying outloud, "....wtf did I just watch...?".
*shrug* Well, can't unwatch it now. ROFL.

MCT:July 31, 2008Amazing plot blending between the 3 story lines, exspecially for being writtin and directed by different people. And what can i say this movie rules, It wayyy surpased my expectations.
-
MCT:July 20, 2008Very strange movie that I didn't really find all that entertaining. Lots of blood and gore, but not a lot of suspense.

Intriguing and surprisingly well made film. Despite its shoestring budget, it manages to be clever, engaging and even thought provoking at times. The three different perspectives on the material made it all the more worth the watch. Definitely a film that deserves attention.

I really dug this film's love triangle approach to the end of the world, as well as the three story narrative structure that focused on all three participants.
Gory violence and some nice laughs sprinkled through the tension make thsi a pretty well-balanced film.

WOW!! This is a unique, fresh and brave sci-fi/horror flick. It was like a zombie apocalypse but through the eyes of the zombies almost...fighting for their humanity, clinging to what , if anything, makes any sense. Considering the budget I am VERY impressed for what they pulled off. LOVED the 3 stories and the disjointed time line. You have to have some brains to get this one and thank God for that... for a damn change.

MCT:July 15, 2008Death by air pump, gotta love it! I thought this was a Cell (by S.K.) rip off, but it wasn?t anything like what I expected. Very funny and very bloody. Different.
5 outta 5, for being oddly fun

Very surprised at how much I enjoyed this film. Three different directors with very distint perspectives on this story. Funny, disturbing, and instrospective...
One of the most interesting sci fi/horror films I've seen since Cube. -
MCT:July 13, 2008
insane and brutal with some dark comedy thrown in i liked each transmission with each different persons perspective
-
MCT:July 12, 2008
overdoes the concept a bit, but is worth watching. good gore factors and explores psychological details not typically considered.
-
MCT:July 11, 2008quite simply put this film is poor. nothing special about it in any way. its just poor. i didnt like the ending as it confused me. but i guess if i watch the last 10minutes ill get it. but the entire film was a let down i was expecting a decent horror/ gorry filmy but this is one them POOR! horrors which turns away from whats actually happening. like you dont see the heads fly off just the spray and the shadow of it. and you dont see him get shot you dont see anything thats out there and violant. in my opinion its a poor film and i wont recomend it to anyone.

An arthouse horror, very different but extremely effective. The Signal plays with your emotions like a psychological bully; it's the only film that has ever made me laugh while keeping me completely scared at the same time.

MCT:July 9, 2008
Hilarious, inventive, and interesting, it was cheap as hell to make, but the people behind it are seriously talented.
-
MCT:July 8, 2008
Not something I would really ever watch again. The second segment was my favorite, the writer/director of that was easily the most talented of the three.

MCT:July 5, 2008
Pretty cool concept. I thought it was kind of poorly executed though. They tried to do the whole like.. mixed genre thing but it ended up seeming all over the place. Some cool moments though. Overall, enjoyable but could have been better.

MCT:July 3, 2008
You know, a twist of WTF is right. This was one of the most messed up movies I've ever seen. I will definately need to watch it again because this s crazy. The way it's done is really cool though. How there are three points of view. I also like the humor. It's a little odd but I was laughing. Anyway this movie was so weird that I really don't know what to say about it.
-
MCT:July 2, 2008Kind of stupid movie to me actually. It jumped around and didn't really keep my interest. Rather bloody in parts.

MCT:July 2, 2008
This was a fantastic low budget movie. I usually hate horror but this made unique use out of old ideas. And it felt good to laugh at a "scary" movie because it was actually funny rather than stupid.
