The Signals

I agree with the over reviewers, stay away from this movie at all costs. Putting aside the "Christian propaganda" aspect of it, this movie just doesn't have anything compelling going for it. The plot is meanadering and uninteresting, the characters are archetypical and flat, and the acting is so bad you want to throw objects at the screen during certain scenes. When you factor in the obviously overt religious agenda ("Maybe prayer IS still relevant to modern life...") there is just no doubt that this film will ONLY be of ANY enjoyment whatsoever to the 5 people out there that actually want to hear this apocalyptical Christian babble. If you don't need a lecture on how to be saved and feel compentant to leave evangelism out of your cinematic experience then walk, no, run from this movie at all costs.

Cloud Ten has made some pretty decent films in the past such as the Apocolypse Series, which I actually enjoyed, but this film is pure garbage. Thank God I didn't pay full price for it ( I auctioned it off of ebay for around $10.00). This movie should be number one in the "Worst Movies of All Time". The storyline is so retarded. If you don't want to waste your time and money, do yourself a favor and avoid seeing this film. -1/10

I'll be honest, when I picked up "Deceived", I was less than looking forward to viewing it. Given Cloud Ten's horrible and unbearable movie record, it's still a mystery why I picked it up. But since I was out of movies to watch for the night, I popped it in.

SURPRISE!!!

This has to be Cloud Ten's best movie to date. After seeing all of the others (Revelation, Tribulation, Judgment, Left Behind, ect.) I was surprised to find out that Cloud Ten is learning the meaning of the word, "Quality". The script wasn't that bad at all; it was not overly preachy. There were some awkward dialogue, but it was a LOT less than all the other movies. As far as casting goes, again lot's of improvement from previous films. I think that casting Judd Nelson was a good decision as well as that of Gossit. It was well photographed, the sound mix was decent and the score actually fit.

Overall, I'd give it a 7 out of 10. It's not totally perfect (Title Sequence) , but it's getting there. Regardless of what others might think, "Deceived", has quality behind it that ALL the other Cloud Ten movies could only long for. If Cloud Ten continues on this path, they may just win me back.

I gave 'Left Behind' a chance and didn't get 30 minutes into it. In that movie the acting was horrid and the situations strained to become credible. So, it was with great reluctance that I came to 'Deceived'. This time the acting wasn't horrid and the situations didn't try so hard to beat me over the head. In fact, this was no better or worse than an average X-files episode including the speculative ending. The Christian message was inserted here and there but it seemed to become part of the story rather than try to take over the story. There are logic gaps that need explaining. It was nothing too distracting though and if you accept this as a standard B-pic you can actually sit back, relax and be entertained.

Only in the US would such a piece of horse manure be able to be made. I accidentally rented it as I was Deceived by the cover saying it was about receiving an ET signal, not so. Ok, I will try to type this with a straight face: It's a signal lasting 6.66 seconds and therefor originated from Satan. Only people with the brain matter of an amoebe would take this movie serious. Sorry, I'm trying to be respectful of people with a certain belief system, but after having undergone the excruciating stupidity of this movie I had to write "Jesus is coming: get wood and nails!" at least a dozen times on my living room walls to compensate for this retarded religious propaganda effort.
