The Signal: Synopsis
Imagine every cell phone, radio, and television in your city suddenly broadcasting the same mysterious signal over and over. Now imagine these "terminus" transmissions evoking violent, uncontrollable, psychotic chaos from everyone who comes in contact with them.
"The Signal" invades the minds of everyday citizens living their workaday lives and having their sordid affairs. Suddenly struck by the power of the insidious transmissions, they are compelled to kill or be killed. Complicating matters is a zombielike resistance some characters have to the idea of remaining dead. The story violently explodes, blending bloody gore with psychological satire, for a truly original horror experience. The Atlanta filmmaking team of David Bruckner, Dan Bush, and Jacob Gentry tell the eerie tale in three parts (cleverly called "transmissions"), shifting perspectives to draw out a larger story that explores dark secrets and fears as well as jealousy and betrayal.
Not for the faint of heart, "The Signal" will nonetheless satisfy those looking for a smart exploration of the power of media to mutate our minds. It is truly inspired independent filmmaking that will stalk viewers from every dark corner while examining the surprising human madness lying deep within.

Looks good, but like another comment said. Seems like Stephen King's book CELL.

Hey Stephen King did this in "Cell." a Signal was sent via cell phone that turned those that answered into "Phone Crazies" that tried to kill any non cell infected. They later went on to do alot of other stuff (try ESP, Psychic abilities, etc...) Maybe not the SAME thing but close enough King should sue them and make even more money. Book was good enough to read 7 times so far, check it out.
