Director William Eubank's second film, The Signal, once again finds him exploring a low-budget science-fiction world that proves imagination is more powerful than money.
It starts off like a pretty standard story about relationships & growing up but slowly escalates into something far beyond anything I could have imagined it would. It explores the consequences we face when we make choices, whether they're made by logic or driven by our emotions and what happens when both types collide head on. As visually stunning and fascinating it is to ponder upon, once all is said and done it all feels like a letdown that it set itself up for from the very beginning. It's a wonderful journey but ultimately cheats you in the end as it tries to go all Twilight Zone on the viewer.
