Russell Carpenter reluctantly admits his wife Sadie into an experimental treatment facility for her life threatening disease. While locked in this prison like surrounding they, along with 6 others, are unknowingly subjected to a cure that might just be worse than the disease itself. (Verleiher-Text)
Kritiken (2)
Right between two and three stars, with bits getting close to four and others to one... I have mixed feelings about this film. One the one hand, I can’t say that Cell Count is very well made; on the other, it’s weird in a very interesting way (for instance, the “drooling head” on the poster, that’s a really good idea) and shows promise in the future of its director. In its themes (medical experiments, disease, things inside the human body, alterations to the human body) it’s very similar to early David Cronenberg (as I’ve read in several foreign reviews), though not nearly at that level. In any case, Todd Freeman makes an interesting entrance and Cell Count is worthy of attention among small, low-budget indie horror films. If things didn’t fall apart so thoroughly in the last 15 minutes, I would have given it a higher rating (3*).

The horror film Cell Count is quite uneven overall. One minute you'll be stopping yourself from fast-forwarding the film, the next it can grab your attention with what suddenly happens, and the way in which it's done. The film will easily find detractors, but there will be those who will see the potential that Todd E. Freeman has not yet been able to fulfill in his other work.
