Did you hate it as much as me?

Sometimes, you come away with such strong negative feeling towards a film, you just need to jump on the internet and find someone who shares your opinion as quickly as possible. If you're on here because you've just watched The Signal and felt it was the horrendous piece of sh*t that it most certainly is, check out this review by Steve Grzesiak, it certainly calmed my soul this evening: http://letterboxd.com/settingsun/film/the-signal-2014/

I didn't hate it but I did find it a bit dull. The main characters weren't that interesting and the story is nothing new. If the film was more entertaining then I wouldn't of minded it having a derivative story. Unfortunately, it wasn't much fun to watch either.

If a movie is going to have a slow pace it needs more interesting characters or a better screenplay. If the movie had either of those things I would've enjoyed it more.

Well put chrisasiama, I tend to forgive derivative or downright plagiarism as long as the movie is fun/smart in his own merits. For example the Lockout movie with guy Pierce, it´s a set up we´ve seen contless times in several genres, but in the end is a FUN un uncompromissed movie. This garbage was boring and "artsy"

YES!

You just about summed up all my feelings about this piece of crap movie! I seldom tend to get angry about movies I dislike, but this one just made me mad. Nothing worse than sitting through a whole mediocre movie, waiting for the "Ah ha!"-moment that blows your mind, just to realize that the end credits was the biggest suprise in the story... G*d damn this movie sucked!! Will read that review now, thanks!
