It isn't a remake, but it nevertheless contains an awful lot of Evil Dead and George Romero in its DNA.

...a movie that explores the common ground between visceral horror and sketch comedy, and finds plenty of it.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is The Signal about? Toggle content

The Signal is a horror film that tells the story of a group of people who are affected by a mysterious transmission that invades their cell phones, radios, and televisions. The transmission causes people to act violently and irrationally, leading to chaos and destruction in a small town. Mya, the main character, is caught in the middle of the chaos as she tries to escape the town with her lover, Ben. Along the way, they encounter a group of people who have been affected by the signal, including Mya's husband, Lewis, who becomes increasingly violent and unstable. The film is told in three parts, each with a different perspective, and it explores themes of survival, paranoia, and the breakdown of society.
