Reviews

Entertainment Weekly - Clark Collis
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.
75
New York Post - Kyle Smith
Its young director, however, has a considerable flair for surprise and visual gusto, and he even, on a shoestring, delivers sharp-looking special effects.
72
TheWrap - Todd Gilchrist
Although the film's ultimate payoff feels a little too big, and too insufficiently explained, to justify all of the obfuscation that led up to it, the script keeps the audience engaged and guessing right up to the end.
67
Austin Chronicle - Unnamed
The result is a bit like seeing a Nike commercial make a drunken pass at its friend’s manga collection while the X-Files DVDs watch from across the room; it may not make much sense, but at least it’s never boring.
63
McClatchy-Tribune News Service - Roger Moore
So even though Signal isn’t great sci-fi, you’d never know it to look at it and listen to it.
