The Signal (2007)
Overrated!
This movie is being hailed as one of the greatest horror films of all time. It is not. The film makers had a great idea, but did not develop that idea, leaving way too much up to the imagination of the viewer. I like using my imagination, but this felt more like a cop-out. There's no how/why, and that is a glaring omission that ruins the movie. If they had fully developed their idea, this could have been a great flick, but as it is, it's really more frustrating then it is enjoyable. I could probably sit here and create a back-story for the signal, explaining it's origin and raison d'etre, but I'm a movie-goer, not a movie-maker, and while the premise of this movie is interesting (if not a little unoriginal - Stephen King's 'The Cell' anyone?) the movie itself is a half assed disappointment that leaves much to be desired.
