Whaddaya Know?

So, Indie movies.

Dont know what it means? Independant movies, books, music, culture, etc is classified "Indie". What we are talking about here is the movie portion.

The film is "The Signal". Now, as it is late, and sleep is more of a random act for me, i am going to be brief...ish.

The Signal is a spectacular movie, rated at great. This movie is more of a trilogy of short films that just so happen to be incredibly cohesive then it is one film, but in no way does it detract from it. In fact, if this is the result, every movie should have three directors with differing viewpoints.

"Movie one" is a horror film, akin to the movie pulse, or the book cell, or any other supernatural/technophobe medium. Wherin a "signal" -hey, i just got the name! jk- is sent out over technological lines, in this case, telephones, tvs, and radios, the trifecta. This signal creates in the mind of the...user?...imbiber?...viewer? a sort of very very bad acid trip mixed with a stimulation of baser impulses, in this case, murder. The murderers arent zombies, they arent under the control of a demon force/computer/nebulous aliens from planet kjarkifel, they believe that what they are doing is right, justified, or they are performing acts that they have no knowledge of due to their existence in a mental fairy tale.

"Movie two" is a dark, dry comedic horror. To put it simply, its funny. If you enjoy monty python, you'd probably enjoy this.

"Movie three" is (as the directors put it) the soul of the film. Its where you go for the moral, for the triumph, for the defeat, for the connecting of like souls, the comraderie of battle, pick or choose, i wont tell which it is, because my last words on this film is...

Go out and rent it. It may be Indie, and indie is a stigma for some people, but i tell you that it is nothing but a predjudice, aka a blind aversion. Dont believe "the man", watch an indie movie today, odds are, it'll be worth it. I am not sure of the number of indie movies i have seen, though i know mass media far outweighs it, but of the movies i am sure are indies that i have seen, i can say this: they are better then mass media, and often contain the same actors.
