The Cell

MArque De Sade fans rejoice, everyone else hidde or find a book. Promoted as the scariest movie yet, with viceral enough scenes to guarrehntee people vomiting in the aisles, it is neither really scary nor vomit-inducing.

A serial killer caught nd in a coma, but his latest victim yet to be found, it comnes down to a researcher anbd her device that allows her to interface with other people's minds and subconsciousness. This is where the surreal part comes in, as we see images from the killer's tortured mind. A confusing place to go, but it is within this mind that our heros must g9o to find the location of the missing victim.

At no point is there evcer a question as to what is real and what's not, and at no point does the imagery ever get to the point where the words scary or viceral ever enter into things. A somber race against time to save the victim before an automated torture chamber kills her, you'll leave needing about 20 minutes or so to stretch out and bring your mind back into reality and splash some cold water in your face.

Worth a watch? At mattinay perhaps, but not more then once. Here, the hype is a lot more then the movie ever will be.
