Apple.com has posted the trailer for The Signal. The official synopsis of the film: It’s New Year’s Eve in the city of Terminus and chaos is this year’s resolution. All forms of communication have been jammed by an enigmatic transmission that preys on fear and desire driving everyone in the city to murder and madness. In a place once marked by conformity but now sent into complete anarchy, the rebellious Ben must save the woman he loves from the bedlam in the streets as well as her crazed sadistic husband. But the only way he can tell who to trust or who has given in to violence is by uncovering the true nature of The Signal.

While the plot does bear vague similarities to Stephen King's novel The Cell, I have hopes that it will be its own beast. Distributor Magnolia Pictures has shifted The Signal from its September 7th release date, with a new release date yet to be determined.
