We spend so much time looking for genre pieces that don’t outright suck, there are times when we end up championing projects simply because they aren’t another teeny-bopper focused PG-13 shite pile.
So it’s nice when you occasionally come across one that looks like the real f*cking deal. Over at Shoreline Entertainment they’ve got their hands on THE SIGNAL. I’ll let the synopsis speak for itself:
A mysterious signal is being transmitted from all media devices in the city of Terminus, provoking murder and madness within the psyches of its inhabitants. In THE SIGNAL, one man battles to save the woman he loves from the vehemence of her crazed husband. But in order to succeed, he must first determine who he can trust in a city where everyone appears to have succumbed to the violence of the signal- including himself.
Now to me that sounds golden anyway, but wait ’til you check out the trailer. I don’t even know what to say about it but WOW! This puppy looks f*cked up and intense in a way that we rarely see these days.
Hoo-rah!
