Editing Guidelines Please remember these guidelines when editing a film article: If a non-film article already exists with the name of the film that you are trying to create an article for, disambiguate and use (film) in the title: Film Title (film) For more information see: Wikipedia:Naming conventions (films) When writing an article about a particular film, the general format should be a concise lead section, followed by a plot summary of no more than 900 words, production details, a cast list, a reception section, and references. Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film. Article upgrading needed: You can help! WP:IA   Stub to Start-Class Upgrading Instructions for Films Note that instructions for articles on other types of film topics within the scope of WikiProject Films are currently under development. To contribute in upgrading this stub article to Start class, the following requirements must be met: Significant intro (list the title, alternate titles, year released, director, actors starring in the film, summary of headings, etc.) Film infobox ({{infobox film}}) Picture: Consult WikiProject Free Images for freely released images from a film shoot, opening, or other relevant free image. Non-free and unlicensed images are to be avoided if at all possible, but if used should include a detailed fair use rationale. (An image is not required for start class if unavailable.) Plot summary Include cast and crew information. At least two other developed sections of information (production, reception (including box office figures), awards and honors, themes, differences from novel or TV show, soundtrack, sequels, DVD release, etc.) Categories (by year, country, language, and genre(s))  Helpful links: WP:BETTER, WP:LEAD, WP:REF, WP:WAF Once this article has fulfilled these requirements, the film can be reassessed to Start class and this template will be removed automatically.

Please remove the active links for Cast members Robert Sterling and Christopher Thomas. They are both Atlanta-area actors in their 30's (and very much alive). The links are to Wikipedia pages for a different "Robert Sterling" and "Christopher Thomas", both of whom have passed away. Mythlab 16:31, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Stabbings? - I dont see how the stabbings in the movie theater have to do with the movie, —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.111.115.229 (talk) 03:31, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Similarities to Steven King's Cell

interesting.... anyone have any info as to whther this film was inspired by, or is based on Stephen King's novel 'Cell'? as the story lines look almost identical...

I having seen the film and read the plot synopsis of 'Cell' on its Wikipedia page, I can tell you that the two have very different plots. Further, at Dragon*Con (and probably elsewhere), the directors said their film was nearly finished when 'Cell' came out and that none of them had read it, but I don't have any citation for it, since I saw it in person. -Ornithopter (talk) 20:38, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

I thought of the same thing when I saw the trailer and went here to check if it was based upon that novel. If we can cite anything saying the above, that would be helpful. RobertM525 (talk) 02:03, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

I haven't been able to find any reliable sources online. Just people saying it in forums without citation or citing a castmember friend of theirs, but it looks like there's an interview with the directors of the film in issue 75 of Rue Morgue and an article about the movie in issue 265 of Fangoria, so if anyone has a copy of either... -Ornithopter (talk) 02:13, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Ending

(SPOILERS) Isn't it pretty clear that the escape sequence is a hallucination? The movie doesn't utilize flash forwards, why would it do so at this point? It does however utilize hallucinations. —Preceding unsigned comment added by KHorberg (talk • contribs) 17:59, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
