Going to Pieces: The Rise and Fall of the Slasher Film
This historical and critical look at slasher films, which includes dozens of clips, begins with Halloween, Friday the 13th, and Prom Night. The films' directors, writers, producers, and special effects creators comment on the films' making and success. During the Reagan years, the films get gorier, budgets get smaller, and their appeal wanes. Then, Nightmare on Elm Street revives the genre. Jump to the late 90s, when Scream brings humor and TV stars into the mix.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Made with $50,000 this film proves that low budget is not a problem in creating a fresh and cult class horror flick. Even though this film may be uneven at times and confusing due to some editing sequences but it's still be able to deliver the thrill, tension, violent, and even its humor well with its unique concept and plot. There are lots of violence here and some GORY scenes that's still in a satisfying level to its potential budget here as well as some SCARY and creepy performance. Overall, if you are looking for a FUN low budget horror film to try out, this film is definitely will be one of the top choices out there really fulfills its premise.>>B<<

Following the spread of a virus through TV and radio signals, the population is possessed with a killing impulse, and the few survivors are soon becoming paranoiac.The movie is constructed from the perspective of 3 different situations introducing new characters all intertwined.The story is centered around a husband determined to find his wife no matter what, while he is persuaded that she was having an affair. In the same time, his wife's lover is also looking for her. The plot isn't straight forward and the intrigue unfolds rather nicely, cadenced with a mix of horror and humor and a convincing casting.

This was probably one of the worst movies i have ever seen. Absolytely nonsense. I cannot understand how people are rating this as good in their reviews...They are probably trolling...SPOILERS*****This movie started very good with a nice idea for a story but after Mya left the car and Rod the movie was a complete failure and waste of time. It lost everything with these idiotic, comical scenes at the "party" that destroyed the movie. This movie didn't make any sense. Complete WASTE OF TIME, do not watch it. The movie after the scene that Mya leaves is UNWATCABLE. It was followed by bad acting and stupid scenes with no meaning, even if you had become crazy by the signal. A complete waste of time...

I rarely enjoy low budget horror movies, they too often just pad out with gore rather than what it really needs. The Signal, on the other hand, had the right ingredients to make a good movie, the acting was good and appropriate to each character's role, both comic and fearful. As far as horror movies go it's a challenge to develop an original idea and develop it to still be interesting, Yet the over all concept was a new one and for the most part of the sci fi was even believable adding to the realism gave the movie a greater edge, and thanks to the movie's 3 parts the movie breaks down and keeps it flowing while making the audience second guess themselves as to what the hell is really going on. The Signal is a great Psychological thriller.
