(1 - 17) of 17 OFCS Rating: 47% Rotten Page   1   C+ "The opening two reels of the picture are masterful. Then the rest of the film happens...this picture contains greatness, but only in the smallest amounts."   DVDTalk.com   Brian Orndorf 3/5 "a good start to the year in horror."   Filmcritic.com   Chris Cabin F "An early contender for the worst movie of 2008, this apocalyptic schlock-fest refuses to admit that it's just another zombie slasher pic."   ColeSmithey.com   Cole Smithey 2/4 "An inspired low-budget horror item with a rough and tumble guerilla filmmaking flair. What it lacks is a steady focal point to rattle the viewer's interest and emotions for an hour and a half."   TheMovieBoy.com   Dustin Putman A- "You don't often see horror movies as scary, nor comedies as funny, as The Signal.... The execution of the premise is wholly fresh and original."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider 3/4 "Everyone is liable to have their favorite segment and each have their own merit. But before the story overshoots its boundaries, it's a pretty gory good time."   eFilmCritic.com   Erik Childress C "Has a certain gritty punch...but in the end it doesn't amount to much but the usual genre static."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 1.5/4 "It doesn't take long for the The Signal's promising beginning to fade into a haze that leaves the viewer exhausted and irritated."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 4/5 "If you're tired of zombie films or rabid people films, Signal is like a cool drink of water on a hot day. It's got all the goodness from the best of those genres while creating its own niche at the same time."   Film Threat   Jeremy Knox B "...brings new blood to the horror genre, but in the end, one vision may have served the material better than three."   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford 3/4 "The filmmakers' team effort gives off strong echoes of Stephen King's Cell, David Cronenberg's They Came From Within, George Romero's The Crazies, Danny Boyle's 28 Days Later."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh 2/4 "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."   Slant Magazine   Nick Schager 3/5 "I don't want to come down too hard on "The Signal" because while I don't think that it ultimately works in the end, it is far more ambitious in both concept and execution than the majority of contemporary American horror efforts"   eFilmCritic.com   Peter Sobczynski 4/5 "It sure wouldn't surprise me if my fellow horror geeks decided to embrace this one quite enthusiastically."   Cinematical   Scott Weinberg C "... another low-budget effort from filmmakers who mistake cleverness for smarts."   Seattle Post-Intelligencer   Sean Axmaker 7/10 "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."   Antagony & Ecstasy   Tim Brayton 2/4 "Plays like a trivia game for folks pleased to recognize a severed-head-in-a-vise gag from one of the most storied independent success stories of all time."   Film Freak Central   Walter Chaw  (1 - 17) of 17 OFCS Rating: 47% Rotten Page   1
