The Signal (2014)

This mind bending sci-fi did its job.  Some of it felt like a Kubrick film mixed with a little bit of David Lynch.  There were a few unanswered questions about some of the minor characters including my favorite, the smiling old lady.  Good for an alien movie.  Didn't know what to expect. Area 51 conspiracies, paranoia of the unknown, and parallel universe are some of the things found in this movie.  Kudos for being original.  Now, I wasn't fully satisfied towards the end.  I guess I was wanting more out of it.  There were a lot of wtf moments but to me it fell a bit flat at times.
If you're a sci-fi fan and want to see something indie and original, give this a shot but don't expect something very special. Good sci-fi entertainment, though.
