Missed call

Cell (2016)

Directed by Tod Williams this film based on the novel of the same name stars John Cusak, Samuel L. Jackson, Isabelle Fuhrman and Stacy Keach. After a strange electronic pulse turns people using mobile phones into rabid monsters a father tries to get back to his estranged family.

I have fairly decent expectations when a film is an adaptation of a Stephen King novel but unfortunately this film falls well short of the expected level. While there are a few interesting elements they are never capitalized on and this is just a flaccid zombie film with far too many familiar elements. Even the cast seem a little uninterested as they stumble through this generic effort.


2/5
