Why We Call Out Bad Mystery Movies

Every year, studios release mystery movies with budgets in the hundreds of millions. The marketing machine tells you they're must-see events. Most of the time, they're not. They're recycled plots, CGI spectacles with zero heart, and sequels nobody asked for. Meanwhile, brilliant mystery films with a fraction of the budget go unnoticed. Signal exists to flip that equation. We call out the waste so you can find the gems. Your time is worth more than a $200M movie with a $2 script.
