Hostel director
Eli Roth helms this big-screen adaptation of the apocalyptic novel by
Stephen King. After a mysterious signal is broadcast over the all-pervasive cell-phone networks that dictate the lives of practically everyone in the industrialized world, legions of people are turned into telekinetic hive-mind zombies, bent on destroying everything in their path in a violent, homicidal frenzy. Amid the chaos, a man attempts to work his way toward the city where his estranged family is, in the hopes that he can find them before they're affected by the signal -- if they aren't already. ~ Cammila Albertson, All Movie Guide
