256) HARBINGER DOWN

                         [INANIMATE]
(2015 dir. Alec Gillis) Date Seen: June 30 2016

for what it's worth; this is the closest thing we have to a 

Cold Fear (2005 PS2) movie adaptation for now.. Gillis & Woodruff Jr are clearly the greatest monster FX team Hollywood has ever known, but as far as what I've seen from their directorial work, their narrative output leaves much to be desired. At least for me personally.

235) CELL
(2016 dir. Tod Williams) Date Seen: June 15 2016

I can personally vouch for Adam Alleca's screenplay for this. He wrote a pretty decent adaptation of King's book, but Heavens to Betsy-- then director Tod Williams came along and filmed it in a very uncinematic way (& with ever tightening re$ources).. But at least everyone involved tried their best?

It's a shame the film isn't better; the source material is like a dream gig for any horror director. I mean the plot is essentially THE SIGNAL and PONTYPOOL done on a much bigger scale.
