Default 'The Signal' - High-Def Digest Review

Kenneth's review of 'The Signal' has been posted. He says it's a surprisingly solid, well-crafted thriller that offers a great cast and story. This Blu-ray sports a faithful video transfer, an excellent DTS HD MA audio track, and a heaping portion of supplemental features. This is definitely worth a look.

No worries, I'm working on 'Natural Born Killers' as we speak. Sorry for the delay -- Warner sent the NBK screener a few days later than Magnolia sent 'The Signal.'

Thanks as always for posting.

actually, NBK was a must for me, signal was a "wait and see" (which i couldn't wait and just bought), so i'm glad to see this one first. i just got it in the mail saturday too, so hopefully i'll find time for it this week.

Good review, regarding the encode, this is without any doubt as close as you can get to the master, HDV is 25mbit MPEG2.

Just got this today.

Having a major problem with the audio. It keeps going out on me on either soundtrack. Every 10 - 15 seconds. Is this a defective disc ... anyone else having the same issue?

Finally watched this, good rental, was impressed by the actors for a lot of them being their first "major" feature it was really solid...

Always glad to see indie filmakers make it, especially on a shoestring budget, hope to see these guys in the future.

Really? Looks like it bombed. $145K the first week then
major decline.

Weekend Chart Record
2/22/2008 $144,836
2/29/2008 $ 23,143
3/7/2008 $ 2,678

Worth a look? Only if you are into blowing dope and
got ahold of really good stuff.
