AUDIENCE SCORE
Critic Consensus: Director William Eubank clearly has big ideas and an impressive level of technical expertise; unfortunately, The Signal fritters them away on a poorly constructed story.

All Critics (84) | Top Critics (28) | Fresh (50) | Rotten (34)
You spend a lot of the movie confused, but the great big reveals of its finale don't feel very shocking at all.
There's something welcome about a motion picture that doesn't hand out a dumbed-down resolution in a neatly wrapped package.
Eubank could have a terrific future as a director. As a screenwriter, though, maybe not so much.
There's bravura manipulativeness to The Signal, the stylish, slyly funny question mark of a movie from director and co-writer William Eubank.
The Signal is too ambitious for its own good, but it is still a pleasure to watch.
Eubank's talent is not at all in doubt, and science-fiction mavens who embrace this picture will rightly be excited for whatever he turns to next.
Audience Reviews for The Signal
However initially intriguing the mystery is, the only thing worse than a stupid movie that believes to be smart is a stupid movie that believes to be smart and insults its audience, and so it is just awfully confusing with a lot of stupid plot twists that don't make much sense.
Super Reviewer
Very Cool !
Super Reviewer
Slow burning, yet ultimately satisfying sci-fi/ mystery.
