SIGNAL REVIEWS
AINTITCOOL” This film will explode. Mark my words. It has cult classic written all over it.”
AINITCOOL “Very well be the best independently made horror film of the past ten years.”
EFILM CRITIC “Bruckner kicks things off on a high note, much like Zack Snyder’s Dawn of the Dead remake. Visceral, energetic and shocking, it’s like a modern technological counterpart to the tongue-in-cheek grain of the 70s-era prologue.”
ROGEREBERT.COM “It’s a metaphor, natch, a cheeky commentary on the role of television in spreading terrorism and the fear of terrorism”
NEWSDAY “”The Signal” is a well-oiled example of that oxymoronic Tarantino phenomenon: the arty grindhouse picture.”
STAR LEDGER “Ultimately, “The Signal” doesn’t rewrite the rules of horror, the way those masters did. But its filmmakers do provide a creepy, bloody good show. It’ll be interesting to see what their next transmission is like.”
EFILM CRITIC “The Signal” is simply a standout film, regardless of genre.”
BLOODY DISGUSTING “In the end THE SIGNAL will burn it’s transmission into your brain and leave you with an impression that will never go away.”
EYE FOR FILM “David Bruckner’s Transmission One: Crazy In Love is all about the carefully managed escalation of tension”
ERIC SNIDER “Bruckner, Bush, and Gentry have devised a remarkably scary premise”
CINEFANTASTIQUE “The dire hopelessness infects almost every frame, setting the viewer on edge with dreadful anticipation of what might be happening next.”
FILM THREAT “Signal” is like a cool drink of water on a hot day”
EFILMCRITIC ““The Signal” is likely 2007′s best horror movie”
VILLAGE VOICE “The Signal has the crazy all right, bless its cold and sick little heart.”
DVDTALK “The opening two reels of the picture are masterful.”‘
THE ONION “The filmmakers do a fine job of grounding the film in the concrete reality of an unhappily married woman grasping at a rare chance at joy, before plunging viewers into a hellscape of unimaginable horror”
TV GUIDE “… has a creepy power all its own, and their visions mesh with remarkable assurance.”
NEW YORK TIMES “Part 1, directed by David Bruckner is superb, with affecting performances, a sense of dread reminiscent of John Carpenter’s “Prince of Darkness”
