Review of The Cell (2000) by Bobby B — 08 Oct 2009
On a purely visual level, The Cell is an absolutely stunning work of art. The sets and cinematography are beautiful, disturbing, and gloriously bizarre, and the chilling visuals alone make this one a must-see.
However, in terms of plot, this one's not too strong - strip away the unforgettable eye-candy and all you have is a semi-decent Silence of the Lambs rip-off. It manages to be both wonderfully original and stiffly derivative at the same time.
But in the end The Cell is worth seeing for the decent acting and unforgettable visuals, which recall a particularly twisted Salvador Dali painting come to life.
