Review of The Signal (2007) by Amy C — 01 Jun 2009
The concept of The Signal being in three parts ,or chapters if you will, is an interesting one. With the right execution it could have been very successful. However, it isn't the direction that let this film down, it was the acting. None of the characters had substance and it was hard to develop interest for any of them.
Although it has its bad points I can't help loving the sheer gore factor and it proves something remotely good can be created on a low budget. The first chapter is dark and powerful. It gives an excellent sense of apocalyptic emotion. Then we move on to the second chapter where there is more of a light sense of humour. It is the thrid and final chapter that lets it down. If the movie had been a continuation of the first part all way through, it could have been held as a cult horror, but it isn't, so it doesn't.
