Esforçando-se ao máximo para alcançar o equilíbrio entre gore e paródia que transformou Uma Noite Alucinante em cult, esta bomba torna-se risível apenas pela incompetência generalizada com que foi realizada.

Consensus: The Signal is gruesome, funny, and has big thoughts about society, but those disparate elements fail to come together convincingly.
Theatrical Release: Feb 22, 2008 Limited
Synopsis: Much like 28 DAYS LATER, THE SIGNAL is a zombie film in disguise asking the question, "What would you do if everyone suddenly turned psychotic?" Conceived by Atlanta filmmakers Jacob Gentry, Dan Bush, and David Bruckner as an exercise in... [More]

Reviews for The Signal
It's definitely an interesting premise and the three filmmakers almost pull it off, but the last ten minutes were a bit of a disappointment to me.
07/22/08
This is much more than a typical genre piece; it's a sort of hip, almost punk, combination of drama, science-fiction and horror.
07/15/08
The Signal has an incredibly interesting premise, which makes it all the more disappointing that filmmakers David Bruckner, Jacob Gentry, and Dan Bush really have no clue what to do with it.
06/27/08
The film is both an impressive "calling card" work for the filmmakers and a failure as an actual film.
06/15/08
A bloody banquet of excessive, tasteless gore, but with an odd infusion of unsavory humor that never meshes with the horror. Think fatal car crash with a laugh track.

All I kept writing down in my notes during the movie was "gruesome" "I can't breathe" "My stomach is in knots."

In the end THE SIGNAL will burn it's transmission into your brain and leave you with an impression that will never go away. This is that film that leaves you with that special glow (yes, kind of like after sex), the smile that doesn't fade and the convers

For a soup overseen by three cooks, the whole works reasonably well, with some pretty complex interlocking, A must for fans of nonlinear storytelling.

tone shifts awkwardly to a Shaun of the Dead-meets-Fido-style satirical commentary on domestic life
03/06/08
The Signal reveals killer horrors skills on the part of Bruckner, and to a lesser extent of Gentry and Bush. So if you don't mind a film that starts strong and finishes weak, check it out.

It's a pity that the film isn't a little bit better, to really do the concept justice. It's not a bad movie...but it's not at all good in the ways that you'd hope.

You, too, may be feeling violently angry by the time the movie ends. Did the writers-directors sprinkle their reels with the script's airwave-riding rage-ohol? Nope: The Signal just sucks.
02/29/08
It's all screwball fun until someone gets bugsprayed down the throat.
02/29/08
The perversely funny, consistently spooky and pornographically violent The Signal, is the first great cult hit of 2008.
02/28/08
Has a certain gritty punch...but in the end it doesn't amount to much but the usual genre static.
02/23/08
It doesn't take long for the The Signal's promising beginning to fade into a haze that leaves the viewer exhausted and irritated.
02/22/08
...brings new blood to the horror genre, but in the end, one vision may have served the material better than three.
02/22/08
An outright horror film that nonetheless veers on occasion into surreal black comedy, The Signal takes Marshall McLuhan's famous statement 'the medium is the message' to extremes not explored since David Cronenberg's Videodrome in 1983.
