first two thirds of the movie were good, it faltered a bit in the last act. That second act was hilair-rios though.

Just plain awful. The story is a bit of a cliche - mass hypnosis through a coded tv-signal. Actors are unattractive and less than charming, and the characters arent't credible at all. Graphic violence in abundence. If you like to watch blood and brains splattered all over, this is the movie for you.

this movie is told in three parts..and its creepy in some parts and at times the movie loses some steam..but it finishes strong...i love the mood and direction the movie was taking..and the end i thought was really good..

A decent effort, bit it's all over the place...

"This low-budget horror film charts the fallout from a mysterious media transmission that cognitively rewires people into killers, and eventually turns out to be an imbalanced project that delivers increasingly diminishing returns." - Nick Schager

Could have been good if the off-kilter comedic tone of the second transmission was used throughout. The last section is resoundingly terrible and kills the film.

the third segment isn't nearly as good as the first two but the first two are really, really fucking good so

watchable

Three parts, only one of them good

One of the best horror movies in recent years by a long, long, long stretch. The three segments all work perfectly on their own but feel a bit disjointed when put together, but each segment is good enough that I will easily overlook that. This movie has way more than enough scares and laughs over the duration, and the pacing in each segment is perfect. I just can't help but feel that something was missing to make this film pefect but damn if I can think of it. If you like horror, watch this!

What a mess. Considering the tiny budget, the movie looks amazing, but boy oh boy. Three directors equals a somewhat disturbing mixture of dystopian scifi, gory horror and dark comedy. All of the three elements work decently - just not combined.

Part One: ten out of ten, intense and has a guy handcrafting a mace with kitchen knives. Part Two: ten out of ten, absolutely hilarious. Part Three: one out of ten, after the first two parts it became boring and dull, and even slightly confusing. A terrible way to end the movie.

the manner in which the story is told enhances this movie, which already was above average, to a damn exciting and likeable movie. i loved the idea, and i loved how it worked.

Definitely trying to work on many levels, with some subtext suitable for a bit of mining. The three different writers and directors, however, makes the three segments feel too unrelated and disjointed. Good stab at something original.

A decent low budget horror,The best part being the middle comedy sequence.

I liked the three segments of this film, the middle section is definitely the most fun. Interesting for it's budget, a bit convoluted at the end.

The Signal has great premise for a horror movie but film makers fucked it up by trying to do something out of the ordinary. It's divided into three different segments with different styles. First part is pretty good straight forward survival horror, second one is decent dark comedy and the third segment is just really bad. Acting is horrible through out the movie and the plot makes you wonder if bunch of monkeys wrote it.

Unaware of the three directors approach this film has, the middle segment was extremely distracting. Without that, The Signal is a nice entry in the 'society coming unhinged' category. Speaking of gory, the film's sadistic nature might be a bit off-putting to some. Definitely makes you feel uncomfortable.

To be honest? Seriously? I liked it. Maybe I was in my good mood.. I liked how the movie shifted in insanity through the genres (yes I did have a nice laugh in trans. II), the casting is really nice. Though there are many goofs and errors in the movie (low budget, nonetheless I want to believe they're intentional) still the movie had it's somewhat style. Yes - you've seen most of the stuff before.. but okay, I guess I WAS in my good mood and it's been awhile since I saw a movie like this. Gore!

I thought that TVs and phones sending signal that makes you kill was the dumbest idea I've heard in a long while. But after all this idea was the best thing about "Signal". It seems that none of the directors had a clue how to actually use that concept. First part is decent, but it goes downhill from there, until it reaches unbearable amount of stupidity.

What a weird and cool movie. Made for next to nothing, three writer/directors passed the story around and each took a segment, making something pretty darn cool. A mix of horror and black comedy, if you like those apocalyptic "end of the world" movies, definitely check this out.

Pretty good movie. I liked the bleak style, the small cast, the black humor of the "Transmission III" segment, the use of a cover version of a favorite Joy Division song of mine (beyond the fact that I personally like it, it set the tone quite well) and the social commentary. Fans of early Cronenberg would feel right at home, right down to the 70's style title cards. It's not terribly original, and some scenes (all in the third act) tended to go on just a few seconds too long. Still worth it.

I have to watch it again, maybe it's just guilty pleasure..

Pretty poor acting, even though this is a bit of something different, really wasn't very good. The middle segment was alright. The dialogue came off quick and sounded like it would have come from the television show Angel with the pacing of the dialogue. Not that great of a movie.

Bloody crazy.

The starting is very promising and creepy, but soon the film goes steeply downhill. It ended up being very boring and I barely could force myself to watch the rest of this dribble. Too bad, I wish they would have gone with the mood and setting of the first sequence of the movie.
