Bruckner, Gentry and Bush Talk The Signal

One of the big buzz films at Sundance this year, The Signal was snapped up by the good folk at Magnolia for North American release and now an interview with the film's trio of directors - David Bruckner, Jacob Gentry, and Dan Bush - has turned up over on iKlipz. At three and a half minutes it's far from in depth but it does at least give a quick picture of what went into the film ...

Imagine every cell phone, radio, and television in your city suddenly broadcasting the same mysterious signal over and over. Now imagine these "terminus" transmissions evoking violent, uncontrollable, psychotic chaos from everyone who comes in contact with them.

The Signal invades the minds of everyday citizens living their workaday lives and having their sordid affairs. Suddenly struck by the power of the insidious transmissions, they are compelled to kill or be killed. Complicating matters is a zombielike resistance some characters have to the idea of remaining dead. The story violently explodes, blending bloody gore with psychological satire, for a truly original horror experience.
