Cell Count
Russell Carpenter reluctantly admits his wife Sadie into an experimental treatment facility for her life threatening disease. While locked in this prison like surrounding they, along with 6 others, are unknowingly subjected to a cure that might just be worse than the disease itself
Why it matters
A claustrophobic descent into medical paranoia where the line between cure and curse blurs in a stark, prison-like facility.
- Medical horror meets psychological thriller in a tight, pressure-cooker setting that channels early Cronenberg body horror vibes.
- The film’s bleak atmosphere and oppressive design amplify the dread of losing autonomy under the guise of treatment.
- For fans of slow-burn, character-driven horror that explores how desperation can twist reality and morality.
- Not perfect—some pacing issues and underdeveloped characters—but it’s a compelling exploration of experimental medicine as a horror trope.
