When a strange signal pulsates through all cell phone networks worldwide, it starts a murderous epidemic of epic proportions when users become bloodthirsty creatures, and a group of people in New England are among the survivors to deal with the ensuing chaos after.
This movie contains 23 potentially triggering events.
One character enters a scene covered in blood and holding a knife. She explains that she was forced to kill her mother (who was infected) in self-defense.
Clay has a healthy, happy cat in his apartment and it is never harmed onscreen. That being said, he does not bring it with him when he leaves to find his family, so it's fate is unknown. I like to imagine he released it or at least left the window to his apartment open.
An entire field full of largely-unresponsive "phoners" is doused in gasoline and set ablaze. Most of them just lay there, but several do get up and attempt unsuccessfully to attack the main characters.
No, although there’s various deaths in different ways, I can’t recall someone falling to their deaths in the 2016 horror movie ‘Cell’, that must be a different movie :)
At the beginning, multiple people start to seize when the main character sees a man shaking and starting to yell. The reaction to the loud screeching noises causes them to foam and shake violently. For Emets this may be triggering! Not sure it happens more throughout the movie as I had to turn it off.
When one character enters the dream sequence, it involves intense colors and brights lights. There isn’t a strong black to white strobe, but it is intense coloring and flashes/changes of color.
Clay arrives home to find his wife Sharon infected and is soon forced to kill her. His young son Johnny left a note with his intended destination- a town which the main characters know to be a trap. Clay parts ways with his 3 surviving companions, whose fate remains unknown. He reaches his goal and hallucinates that he successfully destroyed the cell tower and got away safely with his son. However, the final shot shows him dead-eyed, walking in circles with the other infected around a still-intact cell tower.
