The Signal
(USA, 2007) ☆☆☆☆☆
This has to be the best movie I saw at Fantasia, and the best horror movie I have seen this year so far. The movie is divided into three parts, or "transmissions" as they call them, each written and directed by three different directors (David Bruckner, Dan Bush and Jacob Gentry). It's all about the "signal" transmitted by television, which somehow affects people and causes them to go crazy and kill everyone around them. One day TV stations go off and instead a strange humming noise is emitted from every station, causing people to engage in a killing spree. We follow the lives of a group of people in New York and how they try to escape from all the madness going on around them. There is even some comedy (something i hate in horror movies, but here I must say it works perfectly).

The movie kicks some serious ass if you ask me. It is an insanely audacius experiment and apparently it became one of the most popular films at this year's Sundance festival within seconds of its screening. This is for me absolute entertainment, definitely a must-see for every horror movie fan.
