Title: Been there, done that
Review: A fan of King's earlier horror stories, much of his recent work has failed to engage me. I couldn't finish either Tom Gordon or Dreamcatchers - they didn't grab me like Carrie or The Shining or Christine or Night Shift.That being said, I felt like Cell relied on plot devices and themes King's done well before, but now just come across as tired and cliched. This was a great premise - the potential to terrorize with cell phones - that just wasn't realized to its potential. I kept waiting for the big payoff, buy it never came.Conside this short review your caller ID, and don't bother picking this one up.
