Chris Stuckmann reviews Cell, starring John Cusack, Samuel L. Jackson, Isabelle Fuhrman, Owen Teague, Stacy Keach. Directed by Tod Williams.
It certainly seems like Cell is getting bad reception, huh?
Hardy har har
Still tight 3 years later

That's what she said??
Yes.
You are the greatest!
I guess you could say they were... phoning it in.
GAHHHHH
Ribs suitably tickled!
Bravo! That was very punny! Couldn't stop laughing. :)
savage.
yea they really dialed down the movie here... cell puns HA
You know shit's bad when Norm of the North comes up.
Yeah.
***** Yeah I didn't feel like typing alot since I had other messages and I travel alot lol.
Yeah.
He should rewiew the sequel to norm of the north.
John Cusack had such a weird career
Haha true
2012 xD
Not even close in weirdness to Sandler or Cage .
What do you mean "had" such a weird career? Did he pass away?
+Waleed Albarakati Brendan Fraser was like that too but not as bad
So this is what would've happened if Samuel L Jackson won at the end of Kingsman: The Secret Service.
Basically.
Hahaha was just typing something similar.
I was looking for that comment! That's a great comment!
Pretty much..
Good one. Laughing loud
Why wasn't Nicholas cage in this movie
I was wheezing so hard and when i read this i jist screamed in laughter

So it's like if The Happening was with cellphones?
Child Of The Candy comment is on point.
Beyond that point.
I guess you have to rewatch norm the north to decide what is worse.
Dude, don't put Chris through anymore torture!
Ya know if ones life has gotten to the point where watching a bad movie is torture, he's done alright with himself.
Someone has to do it.. Chris should take one for the team. Watch them both back and to back and make a decision. For science.
Don't forget gods of egypt
lol lets not make him shoot himself
But is it hilariocity material bad?
No. I didn't think it was as bad as he was saying. Just super boring. Started off good imo.
no, no it isn't it's just bad
+Orphan_Darqjade when I said"imo" that means "in my opinion"
Tesa Winters i know:)
mariannebossu yes. It's fucking horridly hilarious.
So this is what Fury was doing during Civil War.
OMG XD
woooow
Samuel L Jackson is OK but nobody and I mean nobody can hold a candle to the Hof!
hahah damn that was good
hahahhaaha XD
Holy hell the ending of this movie had the worst effects I have ever seen it felt like a YTP.
Every single Stephen King has out is just a train wreck or bad CG and acting, pace etc...
People turning into crazy killers because of their phones? Sounds like Kingsman! Also, you killed me with the impressions of the 'phoners'!
Ironic that Samuel L Jackson is in both movies
+Bailey Stimpson Thanks man, that means a lot
Sure
Chris why everyone for some reason keep seeing the guy in the hoddie from the story he wrote?
i was almost tempted to read the book to find out. but.. I think I can live without knowing
just watched this movie as a result of Chris' 'recommendation'. I laughed myself silly through 95% of it. I'm an introvert, I don't really laugh out loud even watching intentional comedies, but with this film I legitimately laughed like crazy. It felt like a movie-adaptation of the DayZ early-access alpha. Definite one to watch with friends and alcohol.
Nathan Binns I still can't figure out if this film was made seriously or not...
One of the zombie runs to a wall and bash her head repeatedly on it, zombies run in the woods then one of them comically collides with a tree, they use a truck full of gas to wipe zombies but STAY RIGHT NEXT TO IT AFTER SETTING THE WHOLE THING ON FIRE!!! 😫
Hey, I'm an introvert too
not realy though, the alpha of day z didn'T have zombies ;)
whats being an introvert got to do with not laughing out loud?
@Ali Malik you are confusing introversion with social anxiety
If you keep watching films like this you will end up reviewing with the same 'I give up on everything' approach as FanboyFlicks!
Shut up
I watched this on my cell. Oh wait.....ergh...argh...azagh...ahhhh!
Jim James 😂😂😂
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!! 😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪
I just watched the movie and I really enjoyed it🤷🏻♂️ yeah some of the editing was bad but I still enjoyed the premise overall and the idea is really cool. I didn’t really get how he SPOILER ALERT called the bomb then didn’t call the bomb and was with his son and then it turns out he was just walking in the circle. But I still enjoyed it
Agreed, a good movie, not going to win any awards but worth the watch.
I don’t see why so many people dislike it. I thought it was very good for the most part. And as for the ending, I saw another review where someone theorized that maybe he had been turned by the red hooded guy as he approached him in the truck. He “killed him” but at the end you never see a body, and maybe him walking with his son and blowing the tower was all in his head or what could’ve happened.
I sore the movie like a metaphor, down loading information to the masses and all the people had one thought and if your not part of that well then your in trouble. I found it really powerful seeing the masses running in that circle with one thought one movement totally in controlled of the information buzz. I love this film very good.
Man, just when I thought King adaptations were going to get better with how amazing 11.22.63 was. The Dark Tower movie better be good!
It's already been destroyed. They are making something but it's not TDT.
+waymire01 What do you mean it's been destroyed? Do you mean the casting choices or something? What makes you think it's gonna be bad?
They have chopped, combined, and changed the entire story beyond recognition. Now they are suggesting it isn't actually the story of TDT novels.. but a subsequent journey to the tower (if you haven't finished the books I'm hesitant to elaborate on that and ruin it for anyone) which still doesn't make sense since Roland was still himself.
+waymire01 Well, from what I've heard, HBO plans on making a TV show after the movie is released, so we can at least look forward to that!
Fingers crossed.
Snapped...

Hello there

Remember 1408 being a good hidden gem. Wonder if it holds up
1408 is actually pretty good.
Yes 1408 still holds up a lot and it's very good and it came out in 2007 so it's not that old.
I actually love 1408, an incredibly underrated horror movie. Atmospheric, well-acted, a good story, amazingly directed... It's got everything I need.
It has 2 endings though, be sure to watch them both. They're equally surprising.
2 endings?
The instant I heard "rented on Amazon Video..."
You SHOULD spoil it, Chris. Seriously. As a public service. Save people their money and time. Life is so short. What I really do not understand is why Samuel L. Jackson would do this movie. I get why John Cusack would, but did SLJ's Nick Fury money run out?
Michael Caine would call it a pay the bill movie.I doubt SLJ will even watch it, but he will enjoy whatever he was paid to do it.
Yeah, I never got why people are so bothered by great actors appearing in shitty or low-budget movies. A paycheck is a paycheck. Would any of them deny $500,000 for going to stand in front of a camera for a couple days a week?
John Quincy Adams the Tank Engine Because a terrible movie can ruin your career.
+John Quincy Adams the Tank Engine I heard SLJ just really loves acting so he just acts in anything they ask him to if it pays which is why he is the black guy in every movie.
+Aynge Mackay
Well maybe if they're a less heard of actor. But Michael Caine and SLJ are master class actors that have proven their worth time and time again, so they can afford to do so.
You should do a Hilariocity of this Chris
I watched the airport sequence to this movie, Your right Chris, this movie is absolutely horrible. I don't think I've laughed that hard in months.
You’re not your.
Also. King drinks cologne and mouthwash to get drunk to hide it from people Close to him. Self admitted.
Best... Shirt...EVER!!! I want a Reptar bar!!!
Me, too. I love that series in the 90s. Nick was awesome then but it's not awesome anymore.
Will you review the Mist? Its based on the book from this writer.
ask zods snapped neck to review it...ohh wait
Great underrated film.
I loved that film, though the ending was a little sudden
Dude the ending is what made it. THAT'S some serious horror. So real and brutal and tragic. The rest is pretty standard movie fare, but the end stunned me. And it's different from the book.
stephen king wrote the screenplay for the Mist there was never a book. if they remade that movie it could be spectacular
Hey Chris, could you do a hilariocity review for this movie in future? :D For grading it with an F, plus everything you talked about, it sounds like a worthy candidate :D
KoRnFoReVeR23 I have seen it, it's just as bad as he say it is, it was really entertaining though haha.
This is definitely Hilariocity material
Hilariocity of Gods of Egypt?
+Sammy Suliman no He said he might do one.
Sammy Suliman wrong it's a shit movie.
id rather see him review the great Alex proyas movies.. The Crow,, Dark city director's cut
Check out Chris's review of it
I, Robot was pretty good, too.
i thought this was a unique zombie movie i was never bored while watching this it also had a unique ending plus the zombies where really creepy you should give this movie a chance
Got to agree with William. It's far from the worse movie. I usually really like Chris reviews. But dropped the ball here.
I liked as well. Thank you I'm not alone
@William Correct AND right.
Chris is too full of soy to appreciate this book/movie.
It limits his ability to review well.
I've noticed this with regard to many great and/or good movies.
He just doesn't get it, unless it is "On Message", and fulfills "Representation" to his liking.
Sad.
I kinda felt like this movie was bad, I tried to get into it? But the ending didn’t make sense. It was a big ass satellite millions of people just running around it eternally and somehow John Cusack got hypnotized or maybe all this was shit was in his head the whole time
"Earlier this year I saw Norm of the North..."
Uh-oh...
"1 minute and 20 seconds of logos!" - first sin if cinemasins made Everything Wrong with Cell video.
Last time I came this early I became a father!
Chris you should score this type of movie with a "H" of hilariocity hahaha
1) Nobody cares if you're 1st
2) Nobody cares if you're early
3) Nobody cares about the #NotificationSquad
nobody cares if you're zods snapped neck
Apparently, people do care, considering the amount of "likes" people receive when saying that stuff.
I never understood what the 3rd one was.
As far as I've understood it, it's just the people announcing that they were notified that the channel posted a video (received a notification from RUclips). That's all it is. They just want to tell everyone else that the YT channel has just given out a notification that the video was just uploaded, and wondered if anyone else received it.
I've already stated in a previous video that YT should implement a system like Twitch, and give YT channel the option to ban certain words and phrases. If you try to post them, such as "first," "I'm so early," or "notification squad," then the comment won't be posted. Heck, I'd make them feel better about posting those comments anyway, but then state at the bottom of that comment that it was posted, but no one else can see it, except you.
I literally asked my wife to pinch me while watching this movie to make sure I wasn't just having a crazy dream.
This movie is incredibly, ummmm, bad? No... ummmm, incomprehensible? Closer.
We both turned to each other in shock at the ending. Usually one of us likes a movie and the other doesn't but we were in complete agreement about Cell. WTF?!
I knew shit was gonna get real when I heard norm of the north
Chris sounds like the Joker when he laughs
This is so very sad; I was so excited about this movie. One of the very few King books that I actually managed to finish.
Directed by Bowfinger ?
So it's a movie about the side effect from the graphene on Covid vaccines.
😫😫😫
Exactly! 軟揭露～
I died at 3:14
Neil Selgy me too !
This is why we pirate shit Chris
Hey now... the prep school crunchy-roll with Stacy Keach was pretty fun as was the bar fight.
Nice shirt.
Yes, King wrote the 1st draft of the screenplay. However, I believe that he had as much to do with the final script of this movie as he did with the script of the CHILDREN OF THE CORN remake from 2009. No, seriously, he is credited for writing the screenplay of the CHILDREN OF THE CORN remake, which he denies having any part of.
Just watching this review made me laugh. Good stuff Chris.
Hahaha! Your imitation of the phoners alone made me want to watch this movie! Though, it seems like the movie that borders on "so bad, it's good" and "absolute garbage"
hey I just watched. Totally loved it.
I was glad to see stuff from the books and have some original ideas from both the director and Stephen King
i just watched it too and I also loved it.
The part that threw me off was when they decided to napalm torch the field of kid zombies at the school. They literally just meet this headmaster and 1 student. The headmaster goes "We can torch them, blow them up we have a spray truck". Then Cusack, Jackson, and the other girl just go "Ok sounds good!" Lol. No discussion about why the headmaster hadn't done it yet.....nothing. Just, "sure thing boss!" Also, why come up with some complicated plan burning them? They were smashing skulls with the truck! Why not just take them out that way? Or a multitude of other ways!
I personally enjoyed reading, note *reading* Cell a lot, however watching Chris talking about it, I think I'll live without watching this adaptation of it.
Chris i have a problem. I liked the review, but I've already been stuckmanized. What do i do?
so...the movie will return in a Hilariocity??
He’s not exaggerating.... Not even Samuel L Jackson could’ve saved this
you need to watch eye in the sky
and review it
Pretty good movie!
Saw it last night. Fucking loved it. Still think that Ethan Hawke Drone movie was better though.
Ethan Hawke's fucking great. If you haven't seen Predestination, see Predestination.
Yeah predestination is fucking awesome
John Cusak ladies & gentlemen ! JOHN FUCKING CUSAK !
Honestly though, how can actors like Sam Jackson even end up at movies this bad?
Maybe he really needed a paycheck.
Arturo García If he does a direct to Amazon movie for the cash while being a vital part of the MCU, Sam Jackson is fucking up big time right now
He always says that he only plays in movies he'd watch. I guess he LOVES himself some hilariocity.
How is he a vital part of the MCU? He wasnt even in Civil War, Ant Man, Thor: The Dark World, or Ironman 3. He was kinda vital in the end credit scenes and a little in the earlier movies, but he really is just window dressing now. I love the guy, but hes been pulling out of the MCU for a while now.
Because paycheck!
"These are my _BOUNDARIES_ ~~~, you cant TuCH me hEre~~~"
Can I just get 2:42 on a loop as a hilarious alarm tone please?
What I don't get about movies/stories like this is WHY?? You start the movie with an intrigue and set up a "quest"; then you have the characters die off one by one, and then get to the end with NO resolve, NO answers to how or why this happened, NO one succeeds on their 'quest', and everyone dies. Why have the characters survive in the beginning?? They could of just all dies right there at the airport and the ending would have been the same...
I just watched the movie and oh man Chris.... you are so exagerating. There are so many more worse movies. this one was quite ok.
I was in the same boat as you. I wanted to see this initially because of how much I loved Cusack and Jackson in '1408'. Now I know not to waste my time. Thank you Chris! Haha
I loved the book, but totally agree about the movie. They could've done so much more. I remember Stephen King writing at the end of the book "neither my wife or I own a cellphone." Man the movie was hideous. I love John Cusak, I grew up with the bratpack, and Cusak. It burns me that they slaughtered this.
I'd give a C+
Yeah it feels like a SyFy channel original movie but I didn't notice so many technical problems and I don't think it got as boring as you say it did
Chris you gotta see a movie called The Signal. It is a great movie. Sounds like a good version of the bad movie you saw!
I'm talking about the one from 2007
I've heard of that movie, but I had no idea it was similar to this. There's only one movie called The Signal that I know: it came out a couple years ago (I really like that one).
+Knittel Man I may check it out.
Deric James Look up the trailer. The trailer got me hooked when I saw it in the theater in front of Brick Mansions (I know; I saw it for Paul Walker (RIP); I thought they'd show it in front of something like The Raid 2, but I was surprised they showed it in front of something like that, which was a wide release), and I was beyond elated when I found out it was coming to my area, and I saw it as soon as I could. Anyway, pretty interesting movie. You'll see a facility in most of the trailer (when it gets to there in the movie, it really gets going).
+Knittel Man Didn't see that one, but the one from 2014 was very good.
Thanks for the heads-up... saved my precious time
Just saw this with my girlfriend because she's a huge Stephen King fan. Figured it would be gripping and pull you in like anything associated with Stephen King does... But instead we sat and laughed the entire time. It went from being hilarious to just totally pitiful. The scene where they burn the bodies in the field after using the spray truck was so bad I nearly peed myself laughing. Best unintended comedy of all time. Worth the watch if you have literally nothing (and i mean fucking nothing) to do.
@Chris Stuckmann Cool shirt. Where did you get it?
King is my favourite author, too! Pity that the movie adaptation for Cell was so bad. The novel is trashy, but very entertaining. Like you said: even when you read one of King's worse books, it's still a good book.
Hey Chris, how's your PS4 look on that 4K TV?? Please let me know because I'm thinking of buying one.
would this qualify as a hilariousity?
Yeah
I can't believe we share the same favourite author!
I think Sam Jackson was so disappointed he can't be in the Kingsmen sequel that signed on a stupid movie with a similar premise just because of it. That or he just really likes the idea of using cell phones to cause mass murder.
Chris, where do you get your shirt? It reminds me of my childhood when nickelodeon was ACTUALLY AWESOME.
Aw man. After some very good releases, we had to get yet another stinker. ;8
Definitely going on Chris's Top ten worse movies of 2016.
Yup.
I'm a big fan of 1408, and new the Cusak/Jackson/King connection. So after 20 seconds of your review i went and watched Cell.
Hilariocity!
john cusack, nicolas cage and bill murray all look like brothers to me
really ? no one is gonna talk abt the trololol song ? :
that part was funny
@Chris Stuckmann Love your movie reviews. I like how you pay attention to cinematographic details. I would love it ive you review the 2015 oscar nominated movie "hard to be a god".
World War C ....... get it
aha! dats a good one.
LMAO why didn't I think of that!
I get it I get it I see what you did there
You from CSUN?
would the Cell be a good purchase if you plan on having friends over to riff on a movie?
I liked it
Hey Chris, know you're a huge Zelda fan! What are your thoughts on "Breath of the wild"?
Cell is a fucking amazing book, I've read it three times. Please don't watch the movie, read the book because it's phenomenal. The movie is so bad it makes the book sound horrible, but trust me, the book is beyond incredible.
I thought you said in your room tour that the lights behind you would change in different colors to show if the movie is good or bad
This pisses me off. I personally think Cell is one of Kings Best. Sam L Jackson is one of the best action movie stars ever. And whoever made this shit out one of the worst movies ever
It wasn't as bad as everyone keeps claiming. It held my attention I might have been a bit disappointment with the ending but Sam and John had awesome chemistry in this film, I think it's one of those films that people will always jump on the band wagon and bash.
Crap, I was really looking forward to this too! I swear, why can't people get Stephen King right more often? I get that several of his more popular stories are convoluted and difficult to translate at points on film (It, The Stand, Desperation, Rose Red, etc), but Cell is pretty comparatively straightforward if you've read it. It's basically Pulse + The Crazies + almost every zombie flick, but it moves the plot at a fair pace while consistently surprising regarding how the "phoners" behave and evolve over time.
While the ending does leave virtually everything ambiguous, the way it's written justifies it. Cusack's character is the center of the story, and his one goal was to find his son. To explore beyond that in some exposition-heavy epilogue would have felt out of place. It's frustrating how filmmakers today still struggle with King's works. Granted, King is no quality director or screenwriter, nor is Cusack, but their combined input could have really helped the project, had it been taken more into consideration.
Oh well. Maybe in a few years, if no one beats me to it, I can take a shot at a better quality remake.
#SavetheKing
dude brush your teeth
He has braces in.
+ThoughtsOfALeo oh yeah because braces make your teeth yellow, makes perfect sense
+Victor ABP guessing you've never had them
Victor ABP Hey, newsflash, they make different colored braces.
it's the colour of the braces ya idiot
Good to hear you're also a Faithful Reader of King's novels. Tnx for the review, I'll skip this one and keep the book in mind instead :)
Any thoughts on The Dark Tower project currently being shot?
So, are you going to do a Hilariocity on this? It sounds like a good candidate.
Not a great movie, but I definitely understood what it was saying - people are so addicted to their cell phones, they are turning into mindless zombies. Cool to see actors like Cusack and Jackson playing in something like this. Considering how most of Stephen Kings movie adaptations are, this one aint so bad....Thumbs up as far as I am concerned, worth a watch, but I really don't go into King movies expecting much.
I have the same shirt as you, but in green!! This is way too exciting for me. 90's/early 2000's Nickelodeon fan for life!
OMG that Nickelodeon t shirt just took be back so many years... Could even smell my boyhood room, awesome shirt!
Is it just me, or did Chris' videos used to look a lot cleaner, in terms of resolution/compression?
But I LOVE Sam Yell Jackson
I'm so glad this got removed from a film festival I was at earlier this year. I was disappointed at first when I found out because I was excited for a new King film, now not so disappointed.
hey chris. been a fan for couple years now. love ur work! just wanna hear ur thoughts on the 2015 S.Korean hit, "The Wailing"
Very true about 1408 being underrated. Most people have never even of the movie when I mentioned it to them
can i ask where you got that Tshirt from? Pure love for that Tshirt
