The Signal - Do you have the crazy?

GreenGreen Stick around.I'm full of bad ideas.Registered User regular
edited June 2008 in Social Entropy++
A science fiction horror film told in three parts from three perspectives in which a mysterious transmission invades every cell phone, radio and TV, turning people into killers. The film was shot in three parts (called "transmissions") that were made by different directors without input from the other two during the shoot. As a result, all parts feel different: one a visceral thriller, one a black comedy, one a mystery-love story.

I saw this tonight and holy shit, I think it has already cracked my top 5 favorite movies

Seriously, The Signal is so awesome it'll make you stab people

If (when) Eli Roth turns Cell into another shitty King adaptation I'll just pretend this one was based on the book instead

    I'd probably love her if I could tell her apart from 500,000 other pretty white actresses who all can't act.

    As long as we are talking blonde actresses: I think my biggest problem with Kate Hudson is that she has yet to do a single role that could not have been better performed by Heather Graham.

    This is a real movie? I got drunk after class one day and walked to the set to see a guy I know who was working on it, and we drank and watched them film. That had to be almost a year ago. I figured it would never get out of the local horror scene.

    He looks very disappointed.

    Maybe it's personal bias. Not too big on horror films.

    The Soup, known for its lampooning week-in-review of celebrity and television stories, began airing short clips of Infarto since July 2006, mainly to mock the deep, menacing voice which utters "Infarto" when the show's title logo is displayed. This may, in part, be because "Infarto" contains the word "fart" and is therefore amusing to English-speakers.

    Uh, hell yeah it's amusing.
