It is a performances centric movie

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

I stump upon this movie last night when searching for a good horror movie to watch and soon when it over i rush into the IMDb page to write a review about it.This is my review about The Signal (2007) a highly underrated horror movie deserve more love and recognizable for all hardcore horror fan out there seeking to see something new.The movie involving a strange signal that been transmission through all cell phone, radio, and television turned people nearby it into psychopaths with only one intended in mind is killing people and when all hell breaks loose a couple of non related people has to figure out the way to survive this situation when they started to question why they not infected.It sometime part black comedy which some truly hilarious scene and part brutal gory action that lead you go from a somehow normal scene to all out terrifying.Minus point is the movie never explained how and why the signal been broadcast with a confusing final arc but hey this is a cult movie you either love it or hate it to death

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.

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.

This was probably one of the worst movies i have ever seen. Absolytely nonsense. I cannot understand how people are rating this as good in their reviews...They are probably trolling...SPOILERS*****This movie started very good with a nice idea for a story but after Mya left the car and Rod the movie was a complete failure and waste of time. It lost everything with these idiotic, comical scenes at the "party" that destroyed the movie. This movie didn't make any sense. Complete WASTE OF TIME, do not watch it. The movie after the scene that Mya leaves is UNWATCABLE. It was followed by bad acting and stupid scenes with no meaning, even if you had become crazy by the signal. A complete waste of time...
