Divided into three segments, each with a different director. The first segment is good enough to give you some hope, but it's quickly crushed by the other two.

Begins with some promise as a fast, edgy, atmospheric flick with possibly something to say about the mindlessly craven zeros television has turned us into, but it it quickly loses focus and degenerates into a sorry, loud mess.

pretty stupid and not as good as some of the critics say

An interesting movie, not a huge movie, but entertaining. The human race, or at least what we see of it in these few characters, have been spiked, and their mostly on a bad trip.

Edgy, scary, unpredictable, funny and really well cast and acted.

This movie was amazing. People over-exaggerate the blood and gore. Yes there is violence. But I've seen worse. Its also extremely funny. The ending is noth that great though. It just leaves you hanging wondering what happened. But besides that the movie is amazing.

This movie was a headachey torture-fest. Where there should have been action and tension, there was torture, instead.

Maybe the best horror movie ever.

Maybe it's the effects of the signal, but the characters in "The Signal" find new ways to be stupid. First, there's Mya(Anessa Ramsey), who renders herself incognizant to blind spot attacks by insulating herself with cd player headphones(yay! Joy Division!), and then there's Rod(Sahr Ngaujah), who tries to save people from the sonically affected... BY TYING THEM UP?! Still, "Transmission 1: Crazy in Love" is the most successful, the most scary. There's a palpable atmosphere of doom that plays like a poor man's "28 Days Later". "Transmission 2: Jealousy Monster" unravels when Lewis(AJ Bowen) sprays poison in a woman's face, causing her features to deform; then in the mouth, causing her to die in agony. Unfortunately, this is supposed to play like the blackest comedy imaginable. Deadpan, dead woman, deadly unfunny. Her death is gross, and casts a considerable pall over the ensuing proceedings. "Transmission 3: Escape from Terminus" seems unambitious for what it doesn't do, which is, track down the signal. Ben(Justin Welborn) saves Mya from her husband, but we don't know what Lewis was like before he went crazy.… Expand

A very bad movie, that starts off with some promise, but only gets worse and worse and worse. The critics that actually thought this was ok, should have their heads examined.

Don't listen to the naysayers. An excellent, highly original take on a worn-out genre. Very intense - can be tough to watch at times, but still highly, highly recommended.

Interesting film, with three stories cleverly incorporated into one film. It can be a bit brutal at all times, but it is engrossing throughout. I liked the middle piece best. I admire the originality of the film.

A good flick to watch when it's about 3 in the morning, you're surrounded by friends, and you're all fans of satire and observational humor. The thriller aspects of the movie are ok, a little over the top as times and absurd at others, but meshes well with the idea that people'll use whatever they can get the hands on, and some of them might even be creative. The ';humor' mentioned earlier isn't something that everyone's going to find in this movie. You've got to be a Richard Pryor or George Carlin type of fan to notice some of things in the background and be able to bust out laughing at them for no apparent reason. The love story aspect of the movie is...Well, kind of a let down. Love stories are fine and everything, but it just doesn't fit well with the rest of the movie. Conversely, it does work nicely as an extra bit of material for the film. I guess if they had to throw SOMETHING else in, they didn't make the worst possible choice.… Expand

I loved this film. The idea of media saturation weakening our wills and making us susceptible to baser and sometimes murderous impulses caused by a mysterious cross-media signal--its amazing. the tonal shifts added a lot to the enjoyment as well. Well done to everyone involved in making this fantastic film.

Fantastic. original screenplay that doesn't borrow from other movies. smart and evolving. characters stay fresh by being multidimensional. doesn't try to prove anything or teach the viewer but in the end gives a satisfying insight into the human psych. its funny at times which puts your guard down and it's completely never obvious and keps you guessing. if you liked wristcutters you'll love this.… Expand

An excellent psychological horror film that I believe will eventually become a cult classic.
