I was lured in by the DVD cover to this movie, and I had no idea what the story was actually about. So I read the synopsis on the back of the cover and was intrigued. Then I sat down to watch the movie, only to find myself sitting there bored and with a bad taste in my mouth.THis movie was sold well by its wrapping, but the stuff underneath the polished wrapping was really boring and rather anti-climatic.And the storyline was also anti-climatic. It had potential for sure, but ultimately turned out to be a shallow experience that failed to captivate.The only thing worthwhile in "The Signal" was the acts of random violence, but it hardly managed to pull the movie up and out of the gutter. The movie started out nice enough, but then it was on a steep and fast downhill ride. You hope that the movie will get better, but it just didn't happen, and I was actually starting to doze off towards the end.A disappointing and very anti-climatic movie experience. This DVD will go to an early retirement on the movie shelf, that is for sure.

This movie could have been amazing. The premise was one that hasn't been done to death, the first section was exciting and full of tension... and then it becomes a mess.This film is split into 3 for some unknown reason and unfortunately this not only breaks the tension and flow, it also changes the tone entirely. Had the film continued in the vein of the first segment, it would have been brilliant, but by the halfway point I was wishing for it to end.The cast are good, the idea is great...unfortunately the execution tailed off into a disappointing mess that I no longer cared about and wanted to end. There is something incredibly sad about so much promise coming to nothing.

I rated this 10/10 because it has some great theoretical foundation ("media making people zombies") unlike countless others that make zombies out of vampires ("The Strain"), drinking contaminated water, etc.This movie also has good comedy elements too of "walking dead" sitting and watching the T.V. In one short sentence - "shut up and watch your T.V." Reminds me old old idea of Jack Kerouac "hating" people behind windows that emit blue.As Eastern European I see how this movie is done in reality, in Russia. A lot of people there are now like crazy zombies shouting with rage about "Putin for world President".Movie even offers solution for such zombism - to think with our own independent head and make choice to discern hallucinations from reality. Well, this movie can be understood not by kids, sorry.

It took me 5 years to come across this flick. I have seen it and i must say that I liked it. It starts of in pure slasher style and you do not know what is going on. But I thought something was wrong with the DVD. I wont spoil what but after a while you will get it. Once the flick really starts you will have 3 parts, or transmissions. The first and the last were for me the best part. The second part moves a bit away from the horror and turns into dark comedy. But still it do contains cruelty and gore. It's that kind of flick you have to watch closely because so much is going on. You will have flash backs towards scene's and seen in from other views of characters. The acting was above average and the way it was directed I liked also. The actors aren't big names but again it's shown here that rather unknowns can deliver a good flick although Justin Welborn (Ben Capstone) isn't uncommon for the horror buffs, you can see him in Dance Of The Dead (2008), The Final Destination (2009), The Crazies (2010). AJ Bowen (Lewis) was seen in the cult hit The House Of The Devil (2009).It isn't a flick for every horror fan but if you can take weird horrors with some dark comedy and nasty (gory) shots then this is for you. And for the Kleenex boys and girls, Ben Capstone goes full nude but seen on his back and Anessa Ramsey (Mya) comes out of bed with her bra on but without knickers.
