By: Jarrod Sarafin, News EditorDate: Wednesday, January 09, 2008
It has been close to a year since this horror film premiered at the Sundance Festival but Magnolia Pictures is finally distributing it in theaters next month. IGN got their hands on the latest redband trailer, which I'll place below for you. The Signal stars Anessa Ramsey, Sahr Nguajah, AJ Bowen, Matt Stanton, Suehyla El-Attar, Justin Welborn, Cheri Christian, Scott Poythress, Christopher Thomas, Lindsey Garrett and Chad McKnight. The horror was directed by David Bruckner, Jacob Gentry, Dan Bush, who also penned the screenplay. Magnolia has only pegged this film for a limited release on Feb 22, 2008 but it may expand to wide.
Plot Summary: It's New Year's Eve in the city of Terminus and chaos is this year's resolution. All forms of communication have been jammed by an enigmatic transmission that preys on fear and desire driving everyone in the city to murder and madness. In a place once marked by conformity but now sent into complete anarchy, the rebellious Ben must save the woman he loves from the bedlam in the streets as well as her crazed sadistic husband. But the only way he can tell who to trust or who has given in to violence is by uncovering the true nature of The Signal.
Told in three parts from three unique perspectives by three visionary directors, "The Signal" was originally conceived as an experimental film project called "Exquisite Corpse" where one filmmaker would begin a story then hand it off to another filmmaker to continue and then to another and so on until the movie was complete. The story eventually took shape and evolved into a sci-fi/horror/thriller that imagines a world where everyday anxieties become the catalyst for inhuman terror. "The Signal" is a horrific journey towards discovering that the most brutal monster might actually be within all of us.
Here's the new redband trailer.

I also had an idea where I'd take an outline of a story and write different stories based off it but each story I'd be influenced by a different stimulant; alcohol, marijuanna, something hallucineginic, and sober. But I can't find anything hallucineginic anymore, marijuanna makes me want to write songs instead, and when I'm sober I have no motivation. And being drunk...psst, you know how that goes.
