...suffers from an increasingly uneven sensibility that ultimately becomes oppressive...
Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4 | May 1, 2009
Funny, terrifying and haunting all at once, this tripartite vision of postmodern alienation, societal breakdown and mental disintegration is as arresting as a baseball bat to the head - while still cutting to the heart.

[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.

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.

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.

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.
Full Review | Original Score: C | Feb 29, 2008
The perversely funny, consistently spooky and pornographically violent The Signal, is the first great cult hit of 2008.
