Director Spike Lee made a great serial killer movie based on a real serial killer. Summer of Sam is masterful. It's easy to see why Spike Lee is brilliant. He was able to take a retro story that many people know about and make it interesting. Many hack low rent studios like Barnholtz or York have tried to feed on making serial killer movies based on real killers. They fail every time. Summer of Sam weaved together what was happening with average citizens in and around where Son of Sam was killing people. The cast was equally as brilliant as Spike Lee. Story had me hooked. Not from Son of Sam perspective. It was how people in this neighborhood related to each other. The ending was perfect. Spike Lee you are my hero.

Boston Strangler: The Untold Story has been told. Not by this movie. It has been told by numerous docs and news shows. This movie is another example of low rent studios try to cash in on serial killer exploits no matter if it is a bad movie. Spike Lee showed with Son of Sam how to make a great movie based on a serial killer that has been covered from head to toe by docs and news shows. Nothing was shown that grabbed me by my collar.

No tension existed. Either who ever made this didn't know how to build up to the murders or didn't care. They collected their money from the studio. They don't care what people think. I am pleading directly to the director and studio chief of this movie to stop this. Planet earth is over run with waste. We as a people do not need to add to it with this sorry movie. Where do disappointed people write to get a refund? Who is with me?

This studio releases horrendously bad movies. If Ed Wood were alive today York Entertainment would offer him a long term deal. I take that back. Ed Wood movies were better than any movie I've watched or tried to watch from this studio. There was a movement to stop Uwe Boll. Movie watchers should unite against York as a studio. Who is with me?

My GF is going through this Saw phase wanting to watch graphic horror movies that try to gross people out. The Red Cell was her suggestion. The Red Cell is nothing but a blatant attempt to steal a plot from movies like Saw, Turistas, Hostel, The Cell. None of these movies are horror any more. They should be labeled agony torture movies. I am in complete agreement with the poster that said a monkey could do a better job. The Red Cell will be your agony torture to watch. Friends do not let friends watch The Red Cell.
