Blu-ray Review: The Cell 2

“The only thing that’s better than torturing a woman’s body, is tormenting a woman’s mind.” The Cell 2 releases on Blu-Ray June 16th.

In the time-honored tradition of sequels created by people who had nothing to do with the original, The Cell 2 explores the mind of the Cusp, a serial killer that gets off on last words.  For the sake of fans of The Cell and Tarsem Singh’s beautiful original vision, I have decided to review The Cell 2 as an independent release that has nothing to do with the original.
