Randomly Noted Catch The Signal this weekend

Thirteen months after its screening at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival, Atlanta’s homegrown horror film The Signal finally gets a national release. Directed by local filmmakers David Bruckner, Jacob Gentry and Dan Bush, The Signal opens Feb. 22 and assuredly isn’t for everyone: It’s a violent, ultralow-budget thriller with occasionally jarring changes in tone, as this photo of
Sahr Ngaujah suggests.
That said, if you have even a passing interest in the project, believe in supporting local filmmakers or just want to see certain Atlanta actors and locales you’d otherwise seldom watch on the big screen, be sure to see The Signal this weekend. Opening weekend grosses are enormously influential in dictating the life of the film, so this is your chance to show your school spirit and root-root-root for the home team. (You can check out a trailer and more info about it here.)
Incidentally, The Signal is playing at AMC North DeKalb 16, AMC Discover Mills, AMC Southlake Pavilion 24, Landmark Midtown Art Cinema, Regal 22, Regal Hollywood 24, Regal Arbor Place 18 and Regal Town Center 16. So it’s not like you can use a lack of choices as an excuse.
