10 Movies That Will Definitely Win Razzie Awards In 2017

Cell’s plot is plot is typical Stephen King: when a mysterious cell phone signal transforms the users into bloodthirsty creatures, a group of survivors band together in New England and eventually encounter a villain known as The Raggedy Man. Unfortunately, it’s a definite step down from 1408, the last King adaptation to star John Cusack and Samuel L Jackson.

Neither actor looks at home in the movie, which plays out like a standard-issue cable movie before falling apart altogether in the final 20 minutes. If that doesn’t sound bad enough, be aware that the director is Tod Williams, who gave us Paranormal Activity 2.

Taking itself seriously at every turn, Cell lets its plot unfold without irony or surprises. Eli Roth was reportedly in the running to direct but dropped out due to “creative differences” and it’s not difficult to see why. If ever a movie could’ve used his sense of deranged fun, it’s this one.
