Very disappointing...

Don't Believe the Hype

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

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.

This is now the second film I've seen from this director, and believe me, if this were the days before digital cameras, this man would never be allowed near a real film set. I review films for a living, both for a major publication and for a festival (that this film was rejected from) and this movie falls short in nearly every way. I won't waste my time or yours writing a thorough review, but STAY AWAY! unless Troma movies are your guilty pleasure, this kind of amateur work will not entertain you. The poorly written dialogue, to the slow pacing make this a laughable addition to the horror genre. The butt-holed man was probably one of the dumbest creatures to every grace a movie screen. Awful, awful filmmaking.

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.

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.
