The Signal

Interesting low-budget sci-fi. Cost-cutting efforts were admirable. The unrecognizable cast was game to play in the confined spaces, and despite the b-movie production values, the violence was creative and gruesome. All the best sci-fi offers some cautionary moral. This is no exception, and the moral is a worthy one, even if it seems hatched by the Parent Television Council: turn off the TV, hang up the cell phones, and RELATE. Before we all turn into murderous zombies.
