  The greatest film of the year that no one has seen
  
  This is without doubt or hesitation the best film of 2008 and no one seems to know it exists. THE SIGNAL is a blend of horror and subtle humour and from the ... read more »

  Starts good but not great in the middle (like a cake)
  
  This film starts of good, then breaks down into something completely bewildering. But hey, I added it to my list so its my fault.

  Okay, Loses itself , but still ok!.
  
  Trailers tout this as a serious horror thriller - IT'S NOT.
  
  A few bizarre attempts at comedy within the script, which you do laugh out loudly at... read more »

  Comedy or horror......
  
  Funny and totally off the wall. Is this a comedy?
  
  Got some moments in it but can't quite decide if its a comedy or not.
