"Do you believe there is a part of yourself, deep inside in your mind, with things you don't want other people to see? During a session when I'm inside, I get to see those things."
Another movie I have heard a lot about, and right after the end I looked at my fiancé and said "What did I just watch?" Visuals are pretty insane for 2000, just curious how this movie came to be in general. Tarsem Singh has some really good ideas, and I wish he got more chances because I really enjoyed The Fall and Immortals, but this movie will haunt my dreams from time to time, I can tell.
The Cell has an interesting premise and I like the science fiction elements to the serial killer storyline. Its execution leaves something to be desired. The problem is that I struggle to point to exactly what. Sure, the performances aren't stellar butI think it's something about the focus on the visuals, which are pretty twisted, that hurt the outcome more than it helps. It made me feel a little gross and left a lot of questions on how the mind works that no one can answer with certainty, least of which is this movie.

some nice visuals can't save this movie from being meh.
Seven, Dreamscape, Silence of the Lambs, the Corbjin music video for Nirvana, and some more - all wrapped up in one shitty ripoff. Everything is exactly like you'd expect. Funny how it was times almost expects the viewer to know those movies to fill in the gaps.
It’s a unique film that I wanted to like more than I actually do. The broad concept and environments are somewhat appealing however it doesn’t actually play out as interesting as it’s premise. The characters were a bit bland and some of the plot devices were weak.
An under-rated atmospheric film that is Silence of the Lambs but inside the mind of a serial killer.

Surprisingly good sci-fi thriller with Jennifer Lopez and Vince Vaughn in the lead rolls: after kidnapping another of his victims, a serial killer has fallen into a coma. Since he's the only one who knows were he hid the woman, a desperate FBI agent (Vaughn) uses a new technology with which one can connect two minds together. One of the few people who can use this machine is a child therapist (Lopez) and so the two of them venture into the serial killer's mind to find out the hiding place of the latest victim. The question behind this movie is "What's going on inside a serial killers mind?".
