"As the year is beginning to wrap up and we hear at AICN are pulling together our lists a film that I'm considering seriously putting high in my top ten of 2007 is THE SIGNAL."

It's got misplaced words, misspelled words, incorrect grammar, missing punctuation...it's got it all!

in fact, it's so poorly written, that it's entertaining in and of itself, and so I think in that sense, it's a success. it's like The Rock!

I liked it quite a bit, but one criticism may be that the film is uneven. There are 3 sub-sections to the movie, each done by a different director. The sections are separate; they do not overlap at all. They use the same actors in each, but the style and tone of each section is different: 1) the first part develops the "signal" and what it does to people (basically makes them uninhibited and very violent/pissed-off). This part is a traditional zombie/disaster story, 2) the second section occurs completely in an apartment. Humorous tone, as a yuppie couple are in complete denial about the disaster going on outside. Despite all the weird shit happening they continue to put on their New Year's party. This part was more Shaun of the Dead, I thought, and 3) The last section was a more serious/bleak part; don't want to give away any spoilers but it was more 28 days later in feel.

So basically it was a zombie/ disaster film in three parts, each fairly different from the others. If people are ok with the potpourri style, it does have some great part, but the three sections do not add up to a coherent/synergistic whole. No doubt folks will have a favorite/least favorite section depending on their taste in movies.

Plants? Umm- yeah.

These postings didn't help the cause, but best of luck with the release, you guys (and girl)-
