The premise

A horror film told in three parts, from three perspectives, in which a mysterious transmission that turns people into killers invades every cell phone, radio, and television.

Horror Vault's take

When every screen and speaker in the city begins broadcasting a strange signal, ordinary people start turning on each other in terrifyingly violent ways. Told across three distinct chapters, each from a different perspective, The Signal pieces together a fractured picture of a society tearing itself apart from the inside out. Part psychological thriller, part gut-punch gore fest, it's a bold low-budget experiment that refuses to play by genre rules.
