Movie Reviews of The Signal [Blu-ray]

Movie Review: The Signal
Summary: 1 Stars

I will stop buying Blu-ray movies, until I can rent/view them. I think this movie and another (About a monster in manhattan) were done by amateur people or very, very low budgeted. That was money down the drain.

Summary of The Signal [Blu-ray]

The Signal proves once again budget restraints prove no barrier to ingenuity: this scruffy, rough-around-the-edges horror film has a strong central idea and a habit of jolting you with real shocks. Something in TV and radio transmissions is getting into the brains of ordinary people and turning them into homicidal maniacs--something other than the usual homicide-inducing stuff, that is. (Incidentally, this movie was shot before the arrival of Stephen King's novel Cell, which has a similar idea.) We learn the concept in a nerve-slicing opening act, as a young woman (Anessa Ramsey) leaves her extramarital fling (Justin Welborn) to tell her husband she's splitting. Unfortunately, this is the moment a mysterious signal has infiltrated TV transmissions and cell phones, turning most of humanity, or at least the people living in the city of Terminus, into murderous savages. Serves them right for living in a city called Terminus. Why some people get "the Crazy" and some people don't is one of the problems with the film--horror movies generally rely in certain rules to carry them through--although the biggest issue viewers might have is the hodgepodgey style. Three Atlanta-based directors, David Bruckner, Jacob Gentry, and Dan Bush, helmed the three distinct sections of the movie; thus the exciting opening is followed by a jarringly comic second act, and wrapped by a somewhat bleak finale. There's enough invention here to justify the film for genre buffs, despite the nagging feeling that it doesn't quite hold together. --Robert Horton

It s New Year s Eve in the city of Terminus and chaos is this year s resolution. All forms of communication have been jammed by an enigmatic transmission that preys on fear and desire driving everyone in the city to murder and madness. In a place once marked by conformity but now sent into complete anarchy the rebellious Ben must save the woman he loves from the bedlam in the streets as well as her crazed sadistic husband. But the only way he can tell who to trust or who has given in to violence is by uncovering the true nature of The Signal.Told in three parts from three unique perspectives by three visionary directors The Signal was originally conceived as an experimental film project called Exquisite Corpse where one filmmaker would begin a story then hand it off to another filmmaker to continue and then to another and so on until the movie was complete. The story eventually took shape and evolved into a scifi/ horror/thriller that imagines a world where everyday anxieties become the catalyst for inhuman terror. The Signal is a horrific journey towards discovering that the most brutal monster might actually be within all of us.System Requirements:Running Time: 103 minutesFormat: BLU-RAY DISC Genre: HORROR/SUPERNATURAL Rating: R UPC: 876964001373 Manufacturer No: 10137
