The best zombie stories – as in, the ones written by George A. Romero – are laced with ample doses of social commentary, and Stephen King’s Cell damn sure has a good deal of that going for it. It’s a tale about cell phones literally turning people into zombies, and the film adaptation is headed to Ultra VOD tomorrow.

Synopsis:
Stephen King’s best-selling novel is brought to terrifying life in this mind-blowing thriller starring John Cusack and Samuel L. Jackson. At the Boston airport, Clay (Cusack) witnesses a scene of chaotic mayhem when an electronic signal turns hundreds of cellphone users into rabid killers. Desperate to find his estranged wife and son, Clay teams with a train driver (Jackson) to battle the horde of murderous “phoners” as the city descends into apocalyptic madness.
