Much to my surprise it was quite funny.

I was going to wait for the DVD release before seeing this, but its at my local drive-in ......so I may just give it a shot...it will go down better with a few beers.

was it disturbing in a good way?

Yes, THE SIGNAL is disturbing in a good way!

It took me awhile to write about the film because it really kind of got to me; very few films have ever done that. THE EXORCIST is an example of one. I put THE SIGNAL on that level. The horror snob in me loves everything about it, but the kid in me was freaked out. Any film that disturbs me has to be great. I need to watch THE EVIL DEAD II to clear my head! Nihilism is cool ,but not all the time.

Diary of the Dead


couldn't finish it, [REC] is sooo much better. I'm not saying Diary of the Dead is bad, it just pales in comparison.

^ Agreed. But I finished Diary, I saw it before REC. But I wasn't that fond of it in the first place. It was merely okay.

I really enjoyed Diary of the Dead. I just thought it was way better then Land and anything that can do that is fine with me.

I finally saw [REC], and I'll wait until I see a "real" dvd before making a real judgment but I preferred Diary.
