Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaStephen King announced in 2009 that he had written a screenplay for the movie, and had created a new ending, based on reader complaints about the book's ending.
- GoofsOn Tom McCourt's advice, Clay puts a cellphone in the fridge to cool the battery down to make the charge last longer yet he fails to do the obvious and turn it off. Also the theory of 'making a phone battery last longer by freezing it' is dubious at most, but the characters may not know any better.
- Quotes
Tom McCourt: Clay, I'm really sorry about your family.
Clay Riddell: Don't be sorry because there is nothing to be sorry about yet.
- Crazy creditsAfter the closing credits have finished, the catalyst signal from the movie plays for approximately 5-10 seconds, with no image, as if attempting to convert the audience.

Featured review
Fairly enjoyable despite the issues
This movie is super weird and not what I expected but in a good way. I love John Cusack he seems different than he was which is unfortunate and Samuel L. Jackson is awesome! There's definitely better Stephen King adaptations than Cell! I like the way it was written especially the scene when they plan to use a gasoline truck to burn a field of zombies and the bit where Samuel talks in a diner. Awesome for what it is, neat concept.
