[DVD Review] The Cell 2

17 June 2009 10:00 PM, PDT | JustPressPlay.net | See recent JustPressPlay news »

The Cell 2 is an infuriating movie, insulting your intelligence as it frolics gleefully in its own stupidity. This is exacerbated by the fact that it poses as a sequel to the Tarsem Singh original, a generally derided film that developed something of a cult following, with this reviewer among the ranks. This film is barely able to qualify as a follow-up as it shares few actual similarities and completely ignores the rules that the original played by.

Eva Longoria look-alike Tessie Santiago is the clairvoyant Maya Casteneda, working in conjunction with the FBI on the trail of serial killer The Cusp, who tortures his victims by killing them and bringing them back to life multiple times. Maya’s ability is the result of a former encounter with The Cusp, rendering her the only survivor of the killer and opening up areas of her brain through the massive amount of »

Behold... "The Cell 2"

29 April 2009 6:31 PM, PDT | JustPressPlay.net | See recent JustPressPlay news »

Direct-to-video sequels aren't new. Sure, it's a quick way to make a buck off the established names, regardless of the involvement of the original actors. The Butterfly Effect 3 just came out, in case anyone's interested, and this summer we'll see the direct-to-dvd release of the (not) hotly anticipated Donnie Darko sequel, S. Darko.

But those movies, at least, have huge cult followings that the sequelmakers are hoping to cash in on. It amuses me when they do it to a decade-old movie that was critically mauled and a moderate but hardly long-lasting success at best.

Movies like The Cell.

I certainly don't look back on the first movie that fondly. While I admired Tarsem's gorgeous eye-candy (which he applied much more proficiently in The Fall), Mark Protosevich's script was all but a disaster, and the performances by Jennifer Lopez and Vince Vaughn pretty much killed it. Still, it »

The Cell 2 Trailer

25 April 2009 6:39 PM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »

The trailer for direct-to-dvd sequel The Cell 2 recently showed up online, and it looks exactly as you'd think it would considering no one was exactly clamoring for it and it pretty much came out of nowhere.

The film stars Tessie Santiago and Frank Whaley, was directed by Tim Iacofano (who gained experience working on the TV shows "24" and "Supernatural"), and offers up the following storyline: The Cusp is a serial killer who kills his victims and then brings them back to life -- over and over again -- until they beg to die. Maya is a psychic investigator who gained her powers while in a one-year coma after being the Cusp's first victim. Now the Cusp is back, and Maya has little time to do what she has never done before: go into the mind of a killer unprotected and save his latest victim.

The Cell 2 Goes Direct to DVD This June

10 April 2009 9:26 AM, PDT | FilmJunk | See recent FilmJunk news »

Direct-to-dvd sequels... we all love to hate em. In this day and age, the concept of a movie going direct-to-dvd is no longer always a terrible thing, however, when it's an unwarranted sequel without the director or any original cast members, it's still a very bad sign. In the case of The Cell 2, Warner Brothers is truly producing a continuation that no one asked for. Don't get me wrong, I did like The Cell to an extent. There were some mind-blowing visuals in the film, but director Tarsem is not involved in the sequel which pretty much eliminates the only interesting thing the original had going for it. The Cell came out back in 2000 and I think it has mostly been forgotten at this point. Jennifer Lopez, Vince Vaughn and Vincent D'Onofrio are not returning for obvious reasons, and so instead they've recruited a bunch of TV actors to take over. »

Remember that flick The Cell from a few years ago? What it lacked in story it more than made up for in visuals, and I'm not just talking about J-Lo's amazing ass either. Warner and New Line have been sitting on the sequel for a while now, but they've finally decided to release it ... in the strangest of ways.

Starting June 23rd, 2009, you'll be able to watch The Cell 2 as part of Amazon.com's video-on-demand service. Expect a DVD release some time after that.

The Cell 2 is directed by Tim Iacofano and stars Frank Whaley, Tessie Santiago, and Chris Bruno. It follows the exploits of a serial killer called the Cusp who kills his victims and then brings them back to life over and over again until they beg to die. Maya (Santiago) is a psychic investigator who gained her powers after being in a year-long coma »
