Ever since we saw The Cell (2000), its wild and disturbing visuals have been stuck in our heads. So we decided it was time for a deep dive to really explain what makes this movie so uniquely terrifying and brilliant.
In this episode of The Cinema Psychos Show, Brian and special guest Jordan The Grey Witch give their full reaction and review. We'll break down Tarsem Singh's insane direction, Vincent D'Onofrio's chilling performance, and why Jennifer Lopez's role was such a big moment for her.
Think of this as our ultimate movie recap for one of the most visually stunning horror films of the 2000s.
Here's some of what we get into:
- Our genuine reaction to the most messed-up scenes (you know the ones).
- How the costume design connects to Bram Stoker's Dracula.
- Why we think it's like "The Matrix in reverse for grown-ups."
- Analyzing the serial killer's psyche and the film's surprising depth.
- Our final verdict on whether this 2000 cult classic holds up.
