  • 3:33 he's using it in the water. Doesn't work so just throw it in the water. LOL. Redundant, but funny.

  • @DonalLynchyou Now they just find victims with Boost Mobile.

  • in-terrnet has nooo signel!!! halp me, some one halp!!

  • first world problems

  • In all fairness, some of those movies had had reasonable reasons why the phones had no coverage. Like in Quarantine (not defending the movie cause it sucked) the CDC probably had a jammer or something. Just saying...

  • @DonalLynchyou Perhaps they should blow up the cellular mast, or set up a jammer. To be fair, if you wanted to kill a bunch of people by leading them to an isolated spot, it would be most effective to choose one with no coverage. I guess people concerned about elaborate psychopathic killers should get satellite phones.

  • 22 people have the same service provider as these movies.

  • To be fair, if they had signal, the movie would end after 2 minutes... But it still bothers me no one has yet found a way around that cliché in horror movies.

  • Another way that they can elude cell phones is by always setting the movie pre 90's...I think this is the best option rather than some ridiculous writing to get by.

  • ALSO IN HORROR MOVIES, when people can communicate they just NEVER GET THE WORDS OUT...Somebody will think Jimmy is the killer, but they just sit there with a worried look on their face...Or, they notice a zombie bite mark on somebody but just can't get around to mentioning it to anybody else in the car...The list goes on and on.
