Like the real-life events that inspired it, Broadcast Signal Intrusion is most thrilling when it’s at its vaguest — like a juicy rumor that’s impossible to confirm.

It’s a film with echoes of recent horror movies about obsession like Berberian Sound Studio and Censor but those movies, despite their flaws, felt far more legitimately dangerous and fearless than BSI, which is content to maintain a slow buzz of paranoia for longer than it should.

I wish it had remained as esoteric as it started, but I was thoroughly wrapped up in its world.

It seemed to me like a kind of watered down version of 8mm. It's all there, especially the paranoia, but this film seems to have been afraid to dig into the decay that it was bringing out, even when its central character was clearly knocking on its door, and it opts for an ambiguity that ends up hurting it quite a lot, 'cause when you think you're getting into the root of that evil, it feels like something crucial was missing. It walks a long way to end up nowhere.
