good cheap movie

It had a good plot. I'm a huge fan of the psychopath movies. Throwing in the comedy was a great touch. The blood was a little much though. And the woman with the new years party was hilarious.
and i quote the crazy lady with the new years party "But he killed one too!" another must see movie

At the time, I didn't realize that this statement would be proven so quickly! In "The Signal", though, the catalyst is more sinister and overt. While its origins are never explained, there's no time wasted on speculation about them. All we need to know is that there is a transmission causing deadly mass hysteria.

This presumably low-budget thriller is much better than "The Happening" for two main reasons. First, one of the "side effects" of the mass hysteria is hallucinations. Not only do the characters not know what is real or imagined, neither do we. That fact adds an entire lev...
