The Signal movie stills
Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Kyle Smith, New York Post: Though you could argue that Eubank simply throws in bits of a dozen classic sci-fi movies without ever making them cohere, the way he springs open his various trapdoors makes the film an entertaining tumble down the rabbit hole. Read more
Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal: It was made with great ingenuity and technical expertise on an exceedingly small budget. What's missing, however, is density, complexity and surprise. Read more
John Hartl, Seattle Times: It's fun while it lasts, though it feels less like a completed movie than a demonstration of director William Eubank's spooky ability to shift gears and string genres together. Read more
Geoff Berkshire, Variety: A film more interested in surface flash than in narrative coherence or character depth. Read more
Bill Goodykoontz, Arizona Republic: There is no doubting Eubank's talent at bringing a story, one he co-wrote, to the screen. Read more
Peter Keough, Boston Globe: After a half an hour, the developments grow busy rather than mysterious, the focus blurs and the kicker ending - well, I was neither surprised nor satisfied. Read more
J. R. Jones, Chicago Reader: This sci-fi puzzler by cinematographer-turned-director William Eubank often recalls the work of Shane Carruth (Primer, Upstream Color) in its low-budget resourcefulness and creeping, gnawing paranoia. Read more
Clark Collis, Entertainment Weekly: If all this sounds like a souped-up episode of The Twilight Zone or The X-Files, then you're in the right ballpark - or underground bunker. Read more
John DeFore, Hollywood Reporter: Beautifully executed, not-quite-satisfying sci-fi head-scratcher. Read more
Robert Abele, Los Angeles Times: There's bravura manipulativeness to The Signal, the stylish, slyly funny question mark of a movie from director and co-writer William Eubank. Read more
Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald: The Signal is too ambitious for its own good, but it is still a pleasure to watch. Read more
Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger: A slow-starting but smart and deliciously weird sci-fi thriller ... Read more
Jordan Hoffman, New York Daily News: Director William Eubank seems more concerned with building to an epic, superpowered ending rather than anything making a lick of sense. In the spirit of the characters and audience, though, it feels right. Read more
Nicolas Rapold, New York Times: You wouldn't be surprised to see Mr. Eubank directing a bigger-budget movie down the road, but this film demonstrates some blanks in his approach that still need to be filled in. Read more
Michael Sragow, Orange County Register: The Signal doesn't bludgeon you in the manner of big-budget misfires like Transcendence -- it retains the appearance of freshness -- but it doesn't slake your thirst for story, either. Read more
Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer: Let The Signal take you by surprise. And it will. Read more
James Berardinelli, ReelViews: There's something welcome about a motion picture that doesn't hand out a dumbed-down resolution in a neatly wrapped package. Read more
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle: For a while, a little while, it seems like it just might be interesting. Read more
Bruce Ingram, Chicago Sun-Times: Eubank could have a terrific future as a director. As a screenwriter, though, maybe not so much. Read more
Todd Gilchrist, TheWrap: Even as its reach ambitiously exceeds its grasp, The Signal is a calling card heralding the arrival of a promising new talent who offers a welcome rejoinder to small-scale formula. Read more
Keith Uhlich, Time Out: Things quickly fall apart, with a pileup of sub-Rod Serling narrative twists, a choppy action sequence heavy on the Michael Bay slo-mo and a sequel-ready climax ... Read more
Scott Bowles, USA Today: Signal thinks big, takes chances and has enough arresting scenes to stand apart from the science fiction films of late. Read more
Alan Scherstuhl, Village Voice: You know what could have made a thrilling twist? Developing the established story, themes, and characters into something satisfying before trying to splatter our minds all over the theater like chunks of Gallagher's watermelons. Read more
Bilge Ebiri, New York Magazine/Vulture: You spend a lot of the movie confused, but the great big reveals of its finale don't feel very shocking at all. Read more
Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post: A less than wholly satisfying destination, despite some fun detours. Read more
