The Signal

I like Eubank’s work, I really enjoyed the emotional Love. The Signal is more plot centred and even though it doesn’t hit the bullseye, at least it aims in the right direction. It can be mysterious and slightly unsettling, and brings up interesting questions as any proper mystery film should do. But Eubank sort of lost me after the story leaves the lab, because there were already too many of those “weird things without answers”. Overall, slightly above average and I’m certainly curious about his next movie. (02/08/2014)

Didn't like it. Maybe if The Signal didn't have such a painfully slow pace, I would have liked it more. That's no way to describe it other than boredom. The ending is a pretty decent visual orgy, but otherwise I'd rather not have seen the film. (04/08/2014)

Maybe if Eubank didn't try so hard to make a small big film and didn't experiment with a handheld camera in the style of The Blair Witch Project or with psychedelic scenes like in Mulholand Drive, this could have been a really good instead of an ambiguous mess with a few interesting moments and a decent finale.

It develops wonderfully, but then suddenly there's a turning point and it's just not the same anymore. At times it feels like a horror, and at times incredibly action-packed, but when you look at it as a whole, you actually feel like you've watched something about nothing. With this film, I felt like it should actually begin with its last scene. (19/09/2014)
