Go recieve THE SIGNAL

The Signal

There is a great indie horror film in theatres right now and its called THE SIGNAL. This is a film that premiered at Sundance last year and is just now being released. It's pretty rare when a indie film like this gets the full on theatrical release so bravo. The premise of the film is original, a mysterious signal begins coming out of every tv, radio phone, etc and anyone who listens to it or watches it for too long becomes a homicidal maniac.

After actually seeing the film this weekend I was impressed by how well it works this idea in the horror genre and especially how the film relied on character rather than anything else to tell its story. Characters make great stories and the filmmakers behind THE SIGNAL know this well.

Unfortunately the film is not making lots of money in the theatres (that's why these are rarely given such a roll out.) I'm not going to make one of those pleas to people to "go out and support this film" cause that shit never works and just seems desperate. I'm just sayin, if you like smart, well written and original horror films there's a movie in the theatres for you right now.
