It’s often used for long distance communication in which the radio waves are reflected back to Earth allowing us to perform actions such as broadcasting voice and music to listeners or enabling communication messages to ships and aircraft.

Now, I didn’t just give you this lesson on the shortwave radio for the love of science! I gave it to you so you could get excited when I told you that the new upcoming horror/science fiction film SHORTWAVE (written and directed by Ryan Gregory Phillips) is a tale that revolves around that very idea.  SHORTWAVE has the vibe of being not only horrifying, but other worldly. We’ll have the debut trailer in the near future, but have a look at the debut stills below, and let us know what you think. for what it’s worth, this one is coming to us from the producers of The Invitation, which reviewed quite well here at Modern Horrors.

After years of trying, Josh and his research partner, Thomas, have a breakthrough involving a cryptic shortwave radio signal and its universal origins. Something within the signal resonates with Isabel and she begins experiencing seeming hallucinations and visions of distant memories. Upon further investigation into the phenomenon, the scientists fear for Isabel’s health while Isabel fears the signal has attracted something sinister to their new home.
