In gorgeous Snowdonia, Wales, where the sheep seem to outnumber the people, a serial killer is raging, attacking young women and cutting off their ring fingers, earning himself the "Wedlock Killer" moniker from the press. Also, a cranky DJ and her sound technician are on the air for the final time before their radio station sells out to a corporate owner and goes digital. Also, Kate, a single mom with a wheelchair-bound, non-verbal little boy, is coerced into being a wheelman for her overbearing boyfriend, ostensibly for the cash she'll be paid which might keep the debt collectors off her back for a while. The heist takes place at an isolated farmhouse, where the Wedlock Killer has recently claimed a victim named Sarah. While Kate waits for her boyfriend to finish ripping off the farmhouse, she is visited by the understandably unhappy specter of Sarah; unnerved, Kate heads into the farmhouse armed only with glowsticks and a tire iron. Meanwhile, the sound engineer has invited a local psychic to the final radio show and despite the cranky DJ's skepticism, they start to pick up transmissions from Ghost Sarah. Events start to converge, the identity of the Wedlock Killer is revealed and Kate becomes a very resourceful Final Girl.
Dark Signal seems to have gotten terrible reviews, largely stemming from lack of logic and focus (one reviewer didn't like that there are so many accents: Welsh, Scottish, English, Polish and Italian). It may be that it can't really decide what it wants to be - ghost story or serial killer flick - but I liked it quite well.
