As we mentioned during Sundance, The Signal is far from perfect and has a tendency to meander in service of its final twist. Indeed, it's already polarizing critics.
The Signal, for me, is kind of about choices and sort of what drives somebody - the decisions we make, whether we make them based off of [sic] thinking logically or thinking emotionally. Nic is sort of a character who's being - he wants to be logical, because he believes from his computer background that that is a stronger way to live your life, and that's a more reasonable way to live your life. Black and white decisions, yes or nos. Then he's sort of challenged to make an emotional choice. At the very start, he was sort of trying to push those emotions away... At the end of the movie, he chooses to embrace that emotional side and make a choice based off of [sic] a feeling.
