The Signal, 2014

The Signal, 2014

One of my favorite movies, starts slow but what a wonderful experience from one of my favorite directors too, William Eubank. The ending is absolutely batshit insane, and everything is full of ideas that are just left for you to interpret. I think the movie might be built on Plato’s Allegory of the Cave, in which people just see and experience a limited reality.

The truth of the matter? What is the truth of the matter here? The only thing I know for certain is that you don’t know what you’re dealing with. You will be pulled from this shitty little shack you call a research facility so fast that the only thing relevant to be shown for any of this is the way it’s all exposed, wrecked, and forgotten. You have no idea! You have no clue! Do you? Have any clue how fast dumb, lost little kids like me, Jonah, or Nomad could ruin a place like this? Have it come grinding to a halt like the stone wheel it is? You’re clueless law in the Wild West, Damon. You’re a relic protecting ruins. You’re pathetic! The truth of the matter is that I’m the only one that has any sense around here.
