    Transmissions 3

    by filmbuff60

    This disjointed film is great. (A) A woman wakes up at her lover's apartment and hurries home to her exterminator husband only to find that society has come unglued. (B) A darkly comic New Years Eve party relieves the tension a little from the first act. (C) The final transmission brings all the key characters back together at Terminal 13. Three directors tell one story. This method works because it mirrors the plot: that of a mysterious signal jamming our communications ungluing our control completely. There are no answers, only speculations. See this film......again....again....again.....again....

    RUN AWAY!!!

    Worst movie ever. Sure ultra violence presented in scary and new ways is always of interest but The Signal misses the point in every way.

    American Psycho is my favorite film and I walked out of The Signal and I wasn't the only one who did.

    The Signal - One of the worst movies ever!

    by sarahmgrace17

    I love going to the movies, however I have never seen this bad of a movie at the theater...EVER! I am upset that I wasted 2 hours of my time on the weekend to see this. I would not reccomend to see this movie in the theater or renting it, if someone really wanted to see this wait till it is on TV or cable.
