Horrorween

Radio silence has ended. Sorry for the seeming lack of updates. I’ve started school and been exceptionally busy.

The Signal

 But, it is Halloween! My favorite time of year. With the holiday comes the glory of good and bad horror movies. Thanks to NetFlix and their “watch it now” on-demand movie viewing service I’ve gotten to experience a gamut of horror movies. I try to fill up for the year so I don’t get the urge to watch them during every season.

I’ve been attempting to watch at least one horror movie a night and to watch them completely no matter how bad they are. There have been some good, some bad, and some really bad. Luckily I actually found a diamond in the rough with The Signal.

Going into the film I had no expectations. I did know that it was written and directed by three different guys, and that the plot involved a broadcast signal turning people into killers. Good enough to start with! So, I watched it and found myself both creeped out about the situations, and really enjoying it. The next day I couldn’t stop piecing together the puzzle of the plot and realizing unique and interesting things about it.

It is still the only film I’ve purchased after watching it on-demand from NetFlix. That means it’s good. Seriously good, and for a horror movie that’s very difficult. Caveat: There’s a small part at the begining of the film that is really, really terrible. It serves it’s purpose, but I don’t think it is neceassy as it was so bad I almost stopped watching the film before it started.

So, when you’re wandering around the movie store this holiday season keep an eye peeled for The Signal.
