Like many fragmented horror stories, the experience isn't consistent from start to finish, but it succeeds more than it falls short in this ambitious infection experience.

The Signal is one of the most creative, visceral horror anthology movies in recent years—an exhausting experience where little makes logical sense. It's a disturbing procession of distorted judgment and its ensuing bloodbath.

The schlock-horror signal in which they've been bathed makes them believe that their grindhouse misogyny is the human condition.

...suffers from an increasingly uneven sensibility that ultimately becomes oppressive...

[A] cagey low-budget horror flick.

Esforçando-se ao máximo para alcançar o equilíbrio entre gore e paródia que transformou Uma Noite Alucinante em cult, esta bomba torna-se risível apenas pela incompetência generalizada com que foi realizada.

It's definitely an interesting premise and the three filmmakers almost pull it off, but the last ten minutes were a bit of a disappointment to me.

This is much more than a typical genre piece; it's a sort of hip, almost punk, combination of drama, science-fiction and horror.

The film is both an impressive "calling card" work for the filmmakers and a failure as an actual film.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 15, 2008

A bloody banquet of excessive, tasteless gore, but with an odd infusion of unsavory humor that never meshes with the horror. Think fatal car crash with a laugh track.

All I kept writing down in my notes during the movie was "gruesome" "I can't breathe" "My stomach is in knots."

In the end THE SIGNAL will burn it's transmission into your brain and leave you with an impression that will never go away. This is that film that leaves you with that special glow (yes, kind of like after sex), the smile that doesn't fade and the convers

For a soup overseen by three cooks, the whole works reasonably well, with some pretty complex interlocking, A must for fans of nonlinear storytelling.

tone shifts awkwardly to a Shaun of the Dead-meets-Fido-style satirical commentary on domestic life

The Signal reveals killer horrors skills on the part of Bruckner, and to a lesser extent of Gentry and Bush. So if you don't mind a film that starts strong and finishes weak, check it out.

Full Review | Original Score: 5/10 | Mar 1, 2008

It's a pity that the film isn't a little bit better, to really do the concept justice. It's not a bad movie...but it's not at all good in the ways that you'd hope.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Feb 29, 2008

You, too, may be feeling violently angry by the time the movie ends. Did the writers-directors sprinkle their reels with the script's airwave-riding rage-ohol? Nope: The Signal just sucks.

It's all screwball fun until someone gets bugsprayed down the throat.
