Quote:
The Signal (2014)
6/10
Three MIT college students road trip through the Southwest. Nic, and his buddy, Jonah, are moving his girlfriend Hailey (Olivia Cooke) to California. The trio detour to confront an ominous hacker.
The film is in the dark heady emotional sci-fi horror vein of Soderbergh's Solaris and Duncan Jones' Moon, just not nearly as successful. I didn't so much mind the lack of narrative information, in the space between when our heroes go underground and the ending reveal, rather that span's discomfort and disorientation didn't seem to aid or setup a comprehensible catharsis. Still, the film direction is effectively stylish, accompanied by an evocative soundtrack.

This I haven't seen.
Have you seen the Signal (2007)?
Completely different movie, just the same name. Worth it.
