: The Cell
Director: Tarsem
A visually striking film, with interesting special effects, but not much of a story. Well, actually, the story sounds fascinating — a woman goes into a comatose serial killer’s mind in order to find out where he hid his latest victim — but doesn’t deliver as much as promised. If the film had a better script and a real story, it would help. It’s too one-dimensional, with all the psychological aspects of serial killing reduced to the obvious and routine (i.e. the killer was abused as a child). Not as bad as I’d heard, and the DVD’s got some good extra material on the creation of the special effects.
