Cellphone

This is the worst movie (if you can call it movie) I have ever witnessed. Stay away at all cost.

The acting is nowhere to be seen. The only thing I felt watching this thing was shame. Shame for witnessing it. Shame because i will never reclaim the time I spend watching this thing.

The script is so bad it feels AI generated, but from a very alpha version of AI. The secondary characters were so offensive that I wont even bother to mention them.

Insufferable amalgamation of bad in so many dimensions. I was searching for ANY remdeeming quality in this film, but failed misserbly.

What a waste of resources, time and, well... What a waste. Run.

It amazes me that some movies get past script approval, Cellphone sadly is another such example.

It's not as if this story hasn't been told many times before, it has, and in many better ways but this boring, repetitive and unfortunately poorly acted waste of time needs avoiding at all costs.

I can't be bothered with explaining the story because it's so puerile it's not worth the effort.

My only hope is that my review might stop one unfortunately cinema goer or indeed anyone from wasting their time and money on this insult to cinema, don't even be tempted, I have wasted my time and money for you and you're most welcome, just trust me.

Remember when you were choosing which movie to go and watch and it was between Cellphone and "A N other" movie - choose the other one, wish I had.

I kept waiting for the spooky to happen. Malcolm McDowell being in it, even as just a voice actor, had me kind of excited and hopeful. Unfortunately, it was a mess of unnatural dialogue, slow pacing, and an inexplicable plot. It was well shot, and the acting was fine given the terrible script. But that's the only reason it got two stars. The movie kept building up to build up the buildup, and in the last like, 5 minutes, everything pops off kind of, but doesn't really make any sense. Next thing you know... SPLAT! POOF! It's over. No explanation. Nothing in the buildup to extrapolate an explanation. Just a nothing burger.

This movie was incredibly slow-paced, to the point where I found myself nodding off and had to stand up to keep myself awake. It's surprising that it's labeled as Horror-Mystery because there was hardly anything scary or mysterious about it; instead, it felt more like a drama-documentary. The plot was uninteresting and didn't make much sense, and the ending was confusing, leaving me feeling like I wasted a good 90 minutes of my time. This is by far the worst movie I've ever seen. The acting was subpar, and the only emotion I felt while watching it was shame-for witnessing such a poorly made film and for the time I'll never get back. The secondary characters were so poorly written that they're not even worth mentioning. Overall, this movie was a complete waste of resources, time, and, well, just a waste. I strongly advise against watching it.

Stumbling upon this 2024 movie titled "Cellphone" by random luck, I opted to sit down and watch it on account of it being a movie that I had never seen, nor actually heard about. And with it being a horror movie of sorts, of course I needed no persuasion to sit down and check out what director Luke Sommer and writer Rachel Sommer had to offer.

The storyline was somewhat of a swing and a miss. THere wasn't a whole lot of anything interesting happening, and sitting around watching the lives of Wynne (played by Whitney Rose Pynn) and Chris (played by Justin Malik Jackson) just didn't really make for an overly interesting narrative.

It was a relatively small cast ensemble in the movie, and I was only familiar with Malcolm McDowell. The acting performances in the movie were actually fair, despite the fact that the script was a dumpster fire.

I managed to suffer through a gutwretching 45 minutes of absolute boredom before I tossed the towel in the ring. This movie took forever to go nowhere. I am not kidding here, nothing happened in those long, oh so very long, 45 minutes that I suffered through. And believe you me, I am never returning to attempt finish watching "Cellphone".

This movie was a swing and a miss. And there wasn't an ounce of horror in it to be seen throughout the 45 minutes I endured. Well, unless you consider absolutely nothing happening on the screen as horror, if so, then you're in for quite a treat.

My rating of director Luke Sommer's 2024 movie "Cellphone" lands on a one out of ten stars.
