Review of The Signal (2007) by Joseph C — 20 Sep 2008
You just never know what to expect with smaller flicks like Signal. Half the time the acting is so off key that you can't believe just how bad it is, and half the time the film looks like old Aunt Petunia shot it herself with a Sony DV.
Signal was neither.
Signal is the story of a strange signal - a signal that somehow resonates over every TV, phone, and radio wave. The signal has a brutal impact on it's listeners.
I thought the acting in this movie was surprisingly good. It was much, much better than your average straight to video horror and/or sci-fi DVDs. I really enjoyed the first 30 minutes the most. During that time, Signal is at its strongest, feeling very fresh, highly unique, and is flat out just a pleasure to watch.
There are some dull spots in the film, but overall it is a must see for fans of horror, sci-fi, and post-apocalyptic junkies. It is no masterpiece, but it is a darn good - and entertaining film.
