The Signal Ratings & Reviews
New York Magazine/Vulture
David Edelstein
The schlock-horror signal in which they've been bathed makes them believe that their grindhouse misogyny is the human condition.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
[A] cagey low-budget horror flick.
I.E. Weekly
Amy Nicholson
It's all screwball fun until someone gets bugsprayed down the throat.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
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.
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
None of the rabbit holes in The Signal go that deep. But you do leave persuaded that you've discovered some talented people.
Chicago Sun-Times
Jim Emerson
A movie that explores the common ground between visceral horror and sketch comedy, and finds plenty of it.
Detroit News
Tom Long
The Signal is electrifying, deliciously mad and twisted filmmaking. It's certainly not for everyone, but chances are it will inspire many.
New York Times
Matt Zoller Seitz
This three-part horror movie directed by a trio of Atlanta filmmakers is set during the collapse of Terminus, a fictional city whose citizens are being driven to rage.
New York Post
V.A. Musetto
A slasher fest that references such predecessors as George A. Romero's Night of the Living Dead and Pulse, a 2001 chiller by Japan's talented Kiyoshi Kurosawa, while still remaining original.
San Francisco Chronicle
Peter Hartlaub
You will definitely appreciate this film's ambition, if not its execution.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Tirdad Derakhshani
A startlingly original, smart indie film that so effortlessly mixes high-caliber gore, suspense and shocking violence with vaudevillian hilarity, it's clearly animated by the spirit of the classic Re-Animator films.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
It is the wildly chaotic and loony middle section where The Signal truly achieves a level of out-of-control B-movie brilliance.
The Deadbolt
Brian Tallerico
For many fans of the genre, the success of the first act and the ambition of the entire concept will be more than enough to make them fans of The Signal.
Newsday
Jan Stuart
The Signal is a well-oiled example of that oxymoronic Tarantino phenomenon: the arty grindhouse picture.
Washington Post
John Anderson
In a movie about perception, misperception and the ramifications of misunderstanding, it's a bit ironic that the directors can't get out of one another's way.
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
This Look Ma, no hands! And no head either! horror film makes a Mixmaster stew out of Poltergeist, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Re-Animator, They Came From Within, and Shaun of the Dead.
Village Voice
Jim Ridley
This uneven but impressive shot-on-digital shocker earns a marker in the mausoleum of apocalyptic horror -- a genre that's proving (un)surprisingly durable in the new century.
New York Press
Eric Kohn
The Signal has a cosmic sense of justice that's often hilarious; a sense of irony about the suggestion that we really could amuse ourselves to death.
Slant Magazine
Nick Schager
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.
Variety
Robert Koehler
Thesps get seriously into the roles, rendering the situation that much funnier.
