Stephen king the cell book review5/24/2023 ![]() The virus is carried by every cellular phone operating in the world. ![]() Then downhill to an utterly disappointing. It's as if the movie were made by cell-phone zombies rather than actual people who've experienced social interaction. The event which propels civilisation into its second dark age is known as The Pulse. This was the first Stephen King book Id read, and I found the opening incredible. ![]() ![]() King himself co-wrote the screenplay, and Tod Williams directs with a shaky-cam technique that's both lifeless and annoying. Interestingly, stars Cusack and Jackson previously appeared together in a superior King adaptation, 1408 (2007), but they don't build on any kind of shared chemistry here they almost seem like they're in separate movies. Stephen King’s Zombie Explanations Supernatural factors are the most widely cited, involving voodoo rituals, sometimes invoking other magical and religious systems. In trying to send a message about people spending too much time on their technological devices, the movie itself winds up feeling impersonal and awkward. Others have nominated Maximum Overdrive, Graveyard Shift, and The Mangler for that "honor," but those three movies are at least ridiculous and fun Cell reaches a new low, feeling somehow displaced from anything resembling humanity. This aggravating, confusing zombie thriller now has the dishonor of being arguably the worst movie ever made based on a Stephen King novel. ![]()
