However, once Deane enters the bizarre world of Stargher's mind, she finds getting out to be a very difficult matter.

    I really enjoyed this movie, it is one of those that slipps under the radar. The caste is great and the plot and effects are what keep you sucked in, good movie

    The Cell is surprising great. It is a psychological look at the dark fantasy life of a killer. The cinematography is sleek and rich. The sets are incredible-- especially the ones where they took their cues from Circe du Seleil (sp?). I personally loved this movie, but be prepared for dark unsettling ideas and emotions. Murder and child abuse may not be for everyone, but the "slant" of the movie is to understand the reasons people do terrible things. An extremely memorable movie!

    This is the kind of movie that you just have to be in the right mood for. It's often slow and confusing, twisting and turning in ways that collapse in on itself. It's supposed to be psychological drama thriller, but it leads the audience along as twisted a route as it does the characters. It's a little hoaky and unbelievable, this idea of a technology that allows one person to enter the mind of another... and that's about the best thing i can say for this one.
