Movie Reviews of The Signal [Blu-ray]
Movie Review: Amazing
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the best, most original horror films I've seen in ages. There are three distinct sections: The first section is a serious zombie film. The claustrophobic opening takes place in an apartment building as, through the eyes of some of the residents, we see the crisis become more and more apparent as the mayhem grows and the corridors more and more spattered with blood. In some ways it reminded me of the opening of Dawn of the Dead or 28 Days Later. The second section then comes along and surprises you with its many comic elements. I have always felt comedy and horror worked well together. In this particular instance it uses the blend of the genres to great effect with the comedy actually reinforcing the horror and vice versa. You find yourself letting your guard down with the humour, only to be hit once again with shocks. It is a far more mature and effective blending of the two then any of the Evil Dead films. The third section is probably where it will falls apart for most viewers. This section very much reminded me of early Cronenberg, with the urban decay and stark modern settings, not to mention all the TV screens, etc. The first two sections mesh a bit better than the third since the first two are united by gorey, adrenalin driven, visceral horror, only for the third part to replace this with a more artsy, sedate, intellectual (but still suspenseful and moody) approach. While I appreciate that section on its own, I wish it would have fit in better with the rest of the film, but it does get into the cause of the crisis and gives it an explanation no more pretentious than 28 Days Later's "rage". I definitely want to see more by all involved.
