WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Ginger Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Josh Anderson OK, so the idea of a signal being broadcast over all TV and radio that drives people mad and causes mass hallucinations is a great story idea. Also, though there was a slight "B" feel to this flick, the cinematography and acting really weren't bad. I even liked some of the layering of the story. However, I am sick of movies making killing, death and gore so cheap and meaningless - not even for moral reasons, but because it just makes the plot unbelievable, un-relatable and gives the writing crutches to get over impossible situations. Also, I get angry at cheating little skanks like Maya and so I'm secretly rooting for Lewis, but no- he's made out to be the bad guy in the end. And my biggest problem with this movie is that it never explains the source of the signal! (Or did I miss it?) Is it from a terrorist organization? Is it alien? We'll never know. Also, the movie finishes with all kinds of loose ends, there is never any resolution. What happens in Terminus? Does the signal ever quit? Does everyone in the town just kill everyone? What is the rest of the world's reaction? ***The end I was hoping for: The signal caused massed hysteria and hallucinations causing people to believe they needed to, and were killing everyone. However, in the end it is revealed no one ever harmed a single person and everyone was using toys and rubber knives on each other! There! Better ending, right? I think so.

Tadas Talaikis I rated this 10/10 because it has some great theoretical foundation ("media making people zombies") unlike countless others that make zombies out of vampires ("The Strain"), drinking contaminated water, etc.This movie also has good comedy elements too of "walking dead" sitting and watching the T.V. In one short sentence - "shut up and watch your T.V." Reminds me old old idea of Jack Kerouac "hating" people behind windows that emit blue.As Eastern European I see how this movie is done in reality, in Russia. A lot of people there are now like crazy zombies shouting with rage about "Putin for world President".Movie even offers solution for such zombism - to think with our own independent head and make choice to discern hallucinations from reality. Well, this movie can be understood not by kids, sorry.

davidbaugh10 The Signal casuald.blogspot.comWhen a mysterious signal passes through all of the electronic communications in the town of Terminis half the people go insane and become murderous while the survivors struggle to adapt in the new world.What I liked.I was first introduced to this movie by my father, I walked into the room and the credits were rolling on the movie and he was sitting there with a good friend of ours and they both said "David you have to see this movie." Not even all the way through the credits they started the movie over again and we all sat down to watch it. As soon as the movie finished my little brother came in and I said "Daniel you have to see this movie." Before the credits had rolled a second time I watched it over again with him and another person. At the end of the movie Daniel had some friends that were coming over and now he was the one starting it over, and I was thoroughly entertained the third time around. I have seen it several times sense and I of course watched it again before doing the review. It is honestly one of my favorites and probably the perfect movie to bring in the New Year and even takes place on New Year 's Eve. What I would addIt is extremely and relentlessly violent and hilarious at parts as well. You can't unsee things and you should know that going in. It is not for the faint of heart. It is composed of 3 parts by three different directors using the same general cast of characters plus a few they meet along the way. It is a roller coaster ride and fast paced. It is equally hilarious and it is just a brilliant movie all around, there is really nothing that I would add that could make this movie better. It is pretty grotesque and very morbid but the effects are seamless and the cast is perfect for their roles. The sound track is even pretty good they hired the right people and told the right story, and while it is a bit disjointed at times even that is right in line with the premise and it really just works well. OverallIf you can stomach the violence you absolutely will not regret watching this movie over and over and over again.

cooblimey It's so refreshing to watch a horror film that isn't full of clichés. I don't know anything about the directors or the actors (most of them don't have profile backgrounds on IMDb) but I'm guessing the undeserved but current 6.1 rating of this film is due in part to people's expectations of the usual slasher movie with pretty girls. If you want that, don't watch this. Yes it has pretty girls, and yes there's quite a bit of slashing too, but this is incomparable to the Hollywood blockbuster clichés.Performances by all cast was solid and believable. The sense of urgency and desperation comes across really well and I was hooked from the word go. When I get a sick feeling in my stomach from the apocalyptic nightmare of a film then I know it has done its job. The Signal achieves this without effort.I also like that this was in three parts, each directed by someone different. This does not detract from the flow of the film though, it stitches together really well so credit has to go to David Bruckner, Dan Bush and Jacob Gentry.
