Maya Denton (Anessa Ramsey) has a love affair with her beloved lover Ben (Justin Welborn) that invites her to leave her husband Lewis (AJ Bowen) and Terminus City, meeting him in the Terminal 13 of the local station. Maya decides to go back home and finds a wounded man and his attacker in the parking area nearby Ben's house. When she arrives at home, she sees Lewis discussing with his friends Jerry (Matt Stanton) and Rod (Sahr Nguajah). When Lewis hits Jerry with a baseball bat on the head, Maya runs to the house of her next door neighbor Janice (Suehyla El-Attar) and realizes that the dwellers of her building have gone paranoid and crazy in an outburst of violence and hallucinations through the transmission and waves of television, cell phones and radios, feeling the need to kill.
"The Signal" is a refreshing horror tale that slightly uses the idea of mass control through television and cellular of "Videodrome" and "Pulse", leaving a message about the brain damage caused by the subtle message of television and excessive use of cellular. The plot is disclosed in three parts: "Transmission I: Crazy in Love", which is scary and the best one; "Transmission II: The Jealousy Monster" that is a boring dark humor comedy that does not work well in the context; and "Transmission III: Escape from Terminus" that returns to the main theme and has a good conclusion. The acting is great and the depressive cinematography gives a special climate to this good story. My vote is seven.
