Linbeymusol Wonderful character development!

Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

ellieginge Dark Signal, what a film!!! amazing plot with a brilliant twist. Ed Evers Swindell's horror is a refreshing movie, a fantastic British film. The only thing i would change is Kate would have gotten plenty more positive reviews if she wasn't in it. You can clearly see Swindell's passion for horror, and I can't wait to see what he comes out with in the future.

michaelant555 The special effects, the acting, the writing and the directing were nothing to write home about. On those levels this was probably on a par with some of the (worst) English lunch-time and early evening soap operas in the eighties. Though this is a lot more frightening and gruesome than they were.Anyway, there are three leading characters, here; a cynical female DJ at a radio station that's on it's last show before being taken off air; her male colleague who is like a production manager at the station, and then there's a single mum who is desperately struggling to keep her head above water with the bills and rent, etc. On the same night that the radio station is airing its last show the single mum goes on a trip with her boyfriend, who is going to rob a football player's house in the countryside (not far from the radio station) because the player owes him £40,000. Meanwhile, at the radio station, they have a special guest for the last night; a top female psychic who comes in to do an interview, but they end up receiving a message over the airwaves from one of the victims of the Wedlock killer; a serial killer on the loose who's been killing newly wed women and cutting off one of their fingers for a trophy.There you have the basics. I'm not saying anymore about what happens, but, although it's all done on a very low budget, the makers of this arranged the story and put it together very well. A rare and hard thing to do it seems, these days, in movies. I came away from it thinking that if this was made back in the eighties it may have become a cult classic; just for the sound effects, alone. I'm giving this 5.5/10 because I like how it ended...and it wasn't predictable.

Nigel P At the heart of this cleverly written story is a resentful social under-achiever who becomes a masked killer. And yet the way the story is delivered, with so many intricate embellishments, makes it far more than that.Polish Joanna Ignaczewska is terrific as Kate Komisarczyk, mother of a disabled son, who reluctantly agrees to accompany possible boyfriend Nick (Duncan Pow) to a remote house in order rob allegedly wealthy Alan Keller (the monumental James Cosmo) who it seems might just be the notorious figure nick-named 'the wedlock killer', who has killed and then removed the victim's wedding ring finger.Elsewhere, local radio station JAB Radio is about to record its last ever show featuring Laurie Wolf (Siwan Morris). To ensure the show reaches a memorable conclusion, a Medium is brought in. Carla Zaza (Cinzia Monreale) manages to arouse the spirit of Keller's dead daughter, and through her, the radio station somehow picks up snippets of Kate's plight.These two strands are seemingly unconnected but for Kate's internet friendship with JAB technician Ben (Gareth David-Lloyd). As the story continues, a series of carefully placed revelations are unleashed that bring the two plots together in a very satisfying manner.When the killer's identity is revealed, his motives are sketchy – other than he seems unable to win the affections of women, and that he removes, and makes trophies of, various fingers, tongues etc. On the internet, he believes, he can be anything, and this is how he lures his victims.The heroine's actions are occasionally questionable, as if often the case with horror films. Hearing Nick has been attacked in Keller's house, she then makes her way to that very location, armed with glow-sticks to advertise her presence. Other than that, she shows admirable courage and resolve.'Dark Signal' seems to have received some negative reviews online and I am at a loss to work out why. Featuring Polish, Italian, Scottish, Welsh and English actors in one production seems to have rankled a few, but why? The UK is a multi-cultural society. Although I usually steer clear of commenting on other reviews, I should also mention that some have lambasted a lack of originality, and that 'Dark Signal' can't decide whether to be a slasher film or a ghost story. To me, surely the melding of the two approaches – something very rarely attempted – demonstrates exactly a very original approach. Director and Writer Edward Evers-Swindell has created an intricately plotted film that is very enjoyable, exciting and pretty frightening in places. The plot also makes perfect sense, which is rare, but you have to pay attention.

sigynnez ***LOT OF SPOILERS HERE***I noticed not reviews for this movie, and it actually deserve it. I just loved the originality in this movie. The film starts with a girl being stalked first and then murdered by a very 'un-famous' serial killer: The Wedlock Killer (he keeps as a trophy the wedding ring of his victims, like a very twisted wed, as if they were marrying him just for being his victims) We have two story lines interconnected, running back to to back at the same time... at the same time? Well... not, and that is so genius. The directing is great, and very well shooted, the images are gorgeous, even in the dark places, making the atmosphere what it must be. It goes from dark night and introducing the killer, to bright light and introducing the rest of the characters with a little background (that will evolve at the movie progresses for the most important one) and finally back to a very dark night and all just move in a very 'haunted' way. In short: was very effective. At least to me as a viewer, and witness. Siwan Morris was awesome and always stealing the camera with her "Lauren Wolf", she was stunning, not only sexy and carefree, but after in the plot you will know she is deeply hurt and hide it deep in her nonchalant image that almost anyone have of her, but only one does know the truth: The Wedlock Killer, who is a little obsessed with her. And There we have Gareth David Lloyd making his "Ben", the character is there as a connection. In the radio studio everything was escalating when "Carla Zaza" comes for the show. Cinzia Monreale is awesome!(I was a child in the 80's but very fan of horror movies! and of Stephen King) and she always deliver all perfect. We also see Duncan Pow. Here is an actor I don't even heard of, so I have no idea of others works and never saw him acting. I must say: his part was good acted, but his character "Nick" was not strong and his lies are discovered. How? you may ask: he say to "Kate" that he have not fault for being successful, and at the same time he convinces her to make a robbery of some dude who owe him money. He is lying about his success, that is so obvious. The good part of the character is when he finally confesses the "real" truth, and you will understand all of it. It was a secondary character that at first you might thing is a lead. It was not well used, and his acting could be better shown if the script would make more of him. Unfortunately, that didn't happen in the mind of the screenwriter. So, we have 3 secondary roles: the child (very creepy at some point), the nanny, and the father of the murdered girl at the beginning (she was mostly only a voice, and that is creepy: a deep voice in the night when you are alone. And when she is seen, is kind of a yürei ghost from Japanese folklore, and that is damn scary). But everything is just destroyed by Joanna Ignaczewska. The first time the character appear was awful, and I thought that it was a character to die soon, I told myself: "She is so bad acting that surely will be the first to die and her death will lead to the first girl at the beginning" But no. None of that happened and I have to stand to see her the whole time. Awful, simply awful. She was BAD. Her almost none acting skills and nonexistent ability to delivering a line, are even worst by the fact of the lines her character have. "Kate" is a very bad character, not likable in any way. The only thing I could think about her was: "What the hell is she doing with her mouth? What is trying to express? Please shut up, your voice is killing me" there is only one thing I can assume, that wasn't her voice and she was trying to make a 'sweet mother, with sweet voice' which she didn't reach. The lines scripted for "Kate" was completely stupid and with no sense of anything. I really really disliked her. Summarizing: we have a great original idea, a few good acting, a few good images and setting, but everything fall apart for the leading actress they choose, and the lines for her character (and that is screenwriter fault) that were completely empty. I wish and will ask to the director and the crew to do a remake, and I suggest change "Kate" character and a better actress, please. And change the end. The End was so weak and blatant, and predictable. I didn't liked at all. For the remake, please make a better and unpredictable end.7/10 for me, and is because Ignaczewska, should have 6/10 because of her, but, Siwan Morris and Cinzia Monreale were so stunning that I give it a point up.
