Clay Riddell, a New England artist, is a witness to an ugly phenomenon: a mysterious signal broadcast over the global cell phone network turns the majority of his fellow humans into mindless vicious animals. Now he and a few survivors must find and stop 'the pulse' and the person controlling it and reunite with his young son before it's too late. (texto oficial de la distribuidora)

Another unnecessary and cheap Stephen King adaptation that wasn't even saved by Samuel L. Jackson, who has a weak moment (Big Game), not to mention John Cusack, whose career peak ended in 2003 with the excellent Identity. Cell had potential in a premised that remained untapped because who cares about zombie horror today without blood and make-up effects? No one. The film also suffers from poorer visuals and poor digital effects, the action is sparse and there is only boredom, disappointment, annoyance and a bitter taste in the mouth. Not recommended. 25%.

"Cell" isn't among King's most successful books, and it kind of blends into his bibliography. It could be expected then that the film, which was awaited for quite some time, wouldn't be anything special either. Essentially, it's a variation on the zombie theme, with some original elements, but in the film adaptation, it's simply boring with dull moments.
