Dark Signal

A spirit contacts a radio station as people start to get killed.

I'm not a fan of supernatural horror and for the first half of the film I cursed myself for putting it on. However after a decidedly lacklustre first half the film suddenly springs into life and actually becomes pretty decent. It is fairly low budget and the acting isn't great apart from a good turn by Joanna Ignaczewska.

After the dull start there are some pretty creepy scenes and the film cleverly keeps you guessing as to what will happen next. There is a fair of gore here too but not overly excessive. The ending was well done and took me a bit by surprise.

For a low budget horror this is a pretty good effort and well worth checking out.

This movie frustrated me. The footage was really well done, very effective use of dark shadowing and an overall creepy, atmospheric gothic vibe. Had some genuinely scary section reminiscent of The Ring.

I thought the directing and editing was really well done.

But 'oh man' the acting was pretty bad, nearly everything was overacted. To be fair, it was mostly the lead female roles. When the lead blonde actress wasnt speaking, or crying, it was okay. When she was silent, she was okay. I just felt that this could have been a horror classic with better acting.

The twist was good, i didnt predict it, that helps.

Overall I loved the plot too.

It's rare I say this, because most most modern remakes arent wonderful. But PLEASE redo this with different actors.

This British horror keeps it simple with its gripping paranormal subject in a ghostly but beautiful backdrop of Snowdonia. The remote location of this radio station had me feeling shivers from the start. The performances were all compelling and the witty dialogue between the two DJ's lent nicely to the suspense in the car scene. I did think things moved a little slow there but I was on the edge of my seat regardless. I enjoyed the classic filmmaking style especially in this scene featuring the paranormal which had me jumping out of my seat.

Overall I really enjoyed this independent paranormal horror and with its twists and clever writing, think it stands highly amongst the mainstream of its genre.

wow hard to fathom how people trash this actress! i found her believable and enchanting! from scene one she conveys her disturbed mental- emotional state. she follows through maintaining a mental disturbance that's subtle and quite genuine! being an actor and director myself i think i know what I'm commenting on. she plays crazed very well and shes beautiful. perhaps the critics here are JEALOUS? The film is shot with great lighting and stark minimalism. I love the isolation! the music is magnetic and it all drew me in to keep watching! ( Netflix is enticing to switch films non stop if boring) so i stuck with this having to see the outcome. its also SEXY dare i say! i dug it!!!

This is a fairly forgettable film. It has some interesting ideas, but mostly fails. Some of the camera-work is good, and the lead actresses are good, but the director seems to think that sticking in a jump shock every few minutes constitutes good horror filmmaking. To make matters worth, each of these shocks is punctuated by a loud musical screech. In the hands of a talented director, these types of shocks can be very effective, but here they are just annoying and actually interfere with the flow of the story.
