- Synopsis:
Deep in the heart of the isolated Welsh valleys, an eerie hush spreads throughout the deserted wilds. Stranded and terrified, single mother, Kate (Joanna Ignaczewska), finds herself entangled in an ill-thought-out plan: a midnight robbery. On the look-out for her boyfriend, and left trembling in the middle of a secluded forest, she quickly realises she is not alone. With her is the spirit of a murdered girl, bent on seeking revenge. Meanwhile, across the valley at a local radio station, Ben (Gareth David-Lloyd) and Laurie (Siwan Morris) are midway through their last ever radio show. With the arrival of medium, Carla, and determination to go out with a bang, Laurie and Ben are about to get much more than they bargained for. Patching together fragments of ghostly sounds, they begin to unravel the clues to a frightening crime before doing do the unthinkable…making contact with the dead. - Actors:

Fear the returned ... - Dark Signal review by NP
Edward Evers-Swindell directs and co-writes this taut frightener that cleverly weaves together two story strands to make a very satisfying whole. James Cosmo stars as big bad Alan Keller, a wealthy individual who may o may not be the deadly 'wedlock killer' so named because he has a habit of relieving his victims of their wedding ring digit. Kate (Joanna Ignaczewska) and her boyfriend Nick (Duncan Pow) think it might be a good idea to visit this man's home and rob him.
In seemingly unconnected events, JAB Radio is about to transmit its final broadcast. To ensure things go off with a bang, Laurie Wolf (Siwan Morris) brings in medium Carla Zaza (Cinzia Monreale) who manages to get in touch with Keller's dead daughter.
Ben (Gareth David-Lloyd), who works for JAB Radio, is the link that binds the two story strands together and what follows is an enjoyably ludicrous horror story that is easy to get caught up in. Fusing elements from a typical haunting with a more slasher-laced style, 'Dark Signal' is great fun and highly recommended. My score is 8 out of 10.
