It’s a bottom of the barrel Stephen King adaptation - one of the very worst. I would've given it my lowest rating of * out of ***** but I gave it just half more because it actually starts out promisingly as it’s pretty intense and Samuel L. Jackson gives the only good performance of the entire cast.

Wasn't Eli Roth supposed to direct 'Cell'?

I also had the misfortune of watching Cell a few days ago. It is easily the worst movie I have seen this year and can't believe it is being released in cinemas in the UK. It is also playing next week at Frightfest on opening night and will be enjoying from a few pints instead of sitting through it again. Avoid!!!

Watch the original and new one back to back, it really adds to the already excellent remake and creates something bigger than watching the two films separately.

It is an okay slasher done in documentary style but the two films back to back make an unique viewing experience.

It's currently on the way to me courtesy of Love Film so will hopefully be checking it out shortly.

I quite enjoy the original film and watched it not too long ago so it's pretty fresh in my mind.
