Cell Count

I like the poster, but it promises something that this movie does not deliver. The movie is very slow, almost like an art-house movie. But it isn't one.

It's very boring for the first twenty minutes. And just when you think that is going to change........it doesn't. It's not scary at all, and it has some really old stereotypical characters (like a doctor with a German accent)I managed to sit through the first 45 minutes of it, i should get a medal for that. I've given it more then one chance. But it was all just a disappointment. The actors did their best (the main characters, i believed in their fictional marriage)but when you have a script this bad that doesn't help much. I will not remember this film for very long. It made absolutely no impact.

Don't let a decent cut trailer suck you into watching this stupid horror movie because it is a pathetic waste of your valuable time, and today especially, your hard to come by money, at least mine is. And to all you crummy loner bloggers and so-called critics out there acting as cheerleaders for this flop -- I'll never believe one word you say again anywhere. Where's the Roger Ebert review? I'd tell you more about the dumb story they attempted if it had anything worthwhile or memorable to say or add to this genre which it doesn't. In fact, what I'd like to do is get my money back. Maybe I should send an invoice to the producer, the director, and the all those lame critics for the all time I wasted watching this flop and the time I spent writing this.

When I sat down to watch "Cell Count" it was without having any idea what the movie was about or who was in it. All I knew was that it was a horror movie, and that the cover of the movie looked like something from the 1980's, which initially caught my interest and attention.

The story in "Cell Count" is about a group of people who are brought to a facility in order to participate in a study for a cure for some kind of disease. But the cure turns out to be a deadly process.

Actually, throughout the entire movie, you sit with a bunch of questions, waiting for the storyline to initially reveal the answers to these questions. However, when the movie ends you still sit there with the questions unanswered, if not actually with even more questions than you started out with. And on that account, the movie didn't really deliver much or prove to be satisfactory.

The movie does bear witness to it not being a huge multi-million dollar budget movie. But actually, that doesn't really matter, because they pulled it off nicely enough.

But, the movie does trod along at a fairly slow pace, leaving you with your questions unanswered, and you feel that you are getting nowhere actually. As such, the movie does become tedious and rather slow. I managed to stick with the movie to the very end, because I was hoping to get some answers, although I ended up with no such thing.

"Cell Count" is not among the most interesting or exciting moving that I have seen, nor is it among the most boring and lame movies either. It is just below average, and it is the type of movie that once you've seen it you will never put it back in the DVD player a second time.

First off this is my favorite sub-genre of Horror ever since the first Saw film. Any time there is people that wake up somewhere strange imprisoned by any means(medically quarantined in this case) I can't wait to watch it. What is most annoying about this is the wasted potential. They had set up a great premise for all kinds of horrible things to happen & it makes the viewer hang in there waiting to see these things but they never happen. What does happen is a bunch of 20 second scenes in no certain order that make absolutely no real sense. In the second half of the film it seems like whoever cut this dropped the scenes on the floor & just cut it in the order they landed. Of course then there is the final act that leaves the viewer with the same questions they had in the first half unanswered. They had all of the ingredients but failed to use most of them to their advantage, kind of like my cooking. If you do decide to check this out remember to keep your expectations low. 4/10

This film was,nt as bad as the rating above to me,because its at least not like most by- the-book,easy to understand movies you see everyday.Although the story is off kilter,it is different.Reminding me of an early work of David Cronenburg,not in camera work ,or ,flair ,but more in a story about flesh,body ,and breaking the rules to both. Just watch the first early works of the afore mentioned director,and your see my point.(sorry Dave,but you,ll never top your first 5 ,just my feelings )The fx are decent ,the acting alright, and the pace do-able ,its the story that makes this one better than the 3. whatever it got here at I.M.D. B.As i said ,for a Sci-Fi fan who is just ready for a good sci-fi,its better than a lot of those giant animal part 7 movies i now avoid. Come on, do it...i dare you.
