About
You’ll like The Signal if you want dark, paranoid horror with a viral-media premise and shifting viewpoints like V/H/S/94 or The Thing; Not for you if you dislike disjointed storytelling or graphic, relentless violence.
Pros: inventive broadcast premise; three-part perspectives; tense paranoia | Cons: uneven middle tone; confusing or unresolved; heavy gore
