The Signal: "A Refreshingly Original Indie Horror Film"

Finally opening this week is, The Signal, a refreshingly original indie horror film made in Atlanta about a sudden signal that comes over the television and phone lines that causes most people to become violent and homicidal. Shot by three separate directors (David Bruckner, Dan Bush andJacob Gentry), the film is broken up into three “Transmissions,” and while each section varies in tone (from hair-raising horror to pitch-black splatter comedy) they mesh together beautifully. The through story is basically a romantic threesome -- Mya (Anessa Ramsey, who’s remarkably good), her dangerously jealous husband Billy (A. J. Bowen) and her new boyfriend Ben (Justin Welburn) who is desperately searching for her amidst the nightmarish carnage. A bloody blast from start to finish.
