Review of Cell (2016) by Phil S — 03 Jul 2016

Why the hate for this movie?? Seriously?? I watched it with an open mind. Yes the Zombie genre is saturated currently, but this gave an interesting new spin with an unexplained force using mobile phones to transmit some kind of subliminal message which fries people's brains until they are hell bent on violence and destruction.

There are eerie sequences where the collective 'infected' stand open mouthed, spewing out some sort of garbled phone signal. In a kind of "Invasion of the body snatchers" way. Also, the performances are fine and make this entertaining.

I enjoyed it.
