What Parents Need to Know
About The Signal
Parents need to know that this bloody horror movie is absolutely not for kids. It's packed with gruesome violence, weapons (gun, knife, garden shears, vehicles, poison), and repeated physical assaults by "crazed" TV viewers. Bodies are visible in building hallways and streets, there's a bloody decapitation, killers stagger like zombies, and there's lots of screaming and fleeing. Since the film doesn't have a specific perspective and frequently shifts between hallucinatory images, it can be physically difficult to watch. An early scene shows a naked male bottom and a woman in her underwear. Language includes frequent uses of "f--k" and other profanity.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about what the film is saying about violence and consumerism in media. Is it an effective message? Does the extremely violent context make it more or less successful? Can you think of other horror movies that try to make a serious point?

AMAZING MOVIE
Great movie. I definately recommend seeing it. People definately over-exaggerate the violence because most of it is not shown because it is either to far to see, the person being smashed and bashed is hidden behind somethin or its a silhouette. There are a few scenes that show the actual violence and blood. The movie was also very funny. Its sexual humor. Very sexual
