About this movie

Stephen King’s best-selling novel is brought to terrifying life in this mind-blowing thriller starring John Cusack and Samuel L. Jackson. At the Boston airport, Clay (Cusack) witnesses a scene of chaotic mayhem when an electronic signal turns hundreds of cell phone users into rabid killers. Desperate to find his estranged wife and son, Clay teams with a train driver (Jackson) to battle the horde of murderous "phoners" as the city descends into apocalyptic madness.

It probably won't be a hit but the book wasn't either. It always seemed like a side project of King, one he didn't take much time on or waste much effort. The movie feels the same but it's watchable as long as you catch a sale. I won't be buying it but I don't regret renting it either.

I was not too impressed by this movie. I am suprise that John Cussak and Samuel L. Jackson signed up for this. Maybe they just wanted to be in a Stephen King story movie, I don't know. The book was probably better, as they usually are; I did not read it. Clearly a low budget movie, judging by the bad CGI.

Zombie land, Matrix, and every other zombie movie ever written, rolled into a poorly written badly acted blender. Don't waste this 98 minutes of your life, you can't get them back. From its Virus ( Jamie Lee Curtis, Donald Sutherland) beginning to its Matrix ending, this snore fest with bad dreams middle is a waste of high quality film.
