Summary

Adapted from the Stephen King novel, a mysterious signal transmitted through cell phones turns anyone using them into violent, mindless attackers. Graphic novelist Clay Riddell, stranded in Boston when the pulse hits, teams up with a small group of survivors and sets out across a collapsing New England to find his estranged wife and young son.

Released in 2016, Cell is an action, adventure and horror film.

270 IMDb reviewers are calibrated for this title, and those are the ones the calibrated score reads; a separate, broader pool of 274 reviewers with at least two reviews each feeds the raw-average track. Its in-cohort standing is measured against the other 13,058 2010s films, not against the whole corpus. A second review pool sits behind it as well: 232 Rotten Tomatoes reviewers clear the same calibration test, and Rankquant scores them separately.
