Synopsis:

This is the scary as hell take on THE CELL. Enter the mind of a serial killer, of a deranged mind to save a girl from certain death. Including both additional scenes and lots of cuts to improve the plot, this is supposed to be the most thrilling version of this movie you will ever watch.


Intentions:

Make it more convincing and scarier.


Change List:

- deleted Edward’s parents and every mentioning of them - deleted the Gish story - deleted repeating bloodbath dog - deleted the beginning of Catherine entering Carl’s mind the 2nd time - deleted Catherine touching demon Carl - deleted the beginning of Peter Novak entering Carl’s mind - deleted the entire scene of Catherine making Carl entering her mind - added extended necrophilia scene - added interrupted Edward mind entering scene - added Gordon Ramsey’s second thoughts - added meat dish to bathtub scene


Additional Notes:

The Cell was a visually stunning movie, yet it left me kind of unimpressed with the story, although it had all the contents of becoming a legendary horror movie. But it wasn’t. The reason for that is quite simply that it was too over the top with the mind entering scenes. There is a point for me as the audience, when it all gets too much, when everything is possible – that is the same point, when my entertainment dies. I always wanted to make this a scarier movie and when i watched it again, i finally discovered, how this could be achieved: most of all by getting rid of the scene, in which Catherine kills Carl, when he is inside her mind. This entire scene was neither thrilling nor plotwise necessary, it was rather confusing and seemed to just be created to finish a plot and put some more emotion to the rather cold characters in a rather cold story. I also deleted quite some of the scenes of Catherine talking to peter, because the intention seemed to be to make them kidn of a loving couple, which they never were, they always kept the distance. And I improved that to be way more clear about their relationship to each other. Peter and Catherine are both totally focused on their work and in neither of their worlds is a place for a relationship. I added some additional gore scenes, especially the extended necrophilia scene, because it is too great to be just a deleted scene.
