Too fuzzy and indistinct to work on either a literal or a metaphoric level, The Signal nonetheless pulses with enough random static to hold viewers' attention.
Joshua Rothkopf, Time Out New York
Rotten
It doesn't take long for the The Signal's promising beginning to fade into a haze that leaves the viewer exhausted and irritated.
James Berardinelli, ReelViews

None of the rabbit holes in The Signal go that deep. But you do leave persuaded that you've discovered some talented people.
Wesley Morris, Boston Globe
Fresh
A movie that explores the common ground between visceral horror and sketch comedy, and finds plenty of it.
Jim Emerson, Chicago Sun-Times
