The Cell is a 2000 movie written by Mark Protosevich and directed by Tarsem Singh. Its storyline about an experimental mind-technology permits the staging of several stunning surreal sequences very different from most big-budget Hollywood films. The movie was nominated for the Academy Award for Makeup.

Tagline: His mind is her prison.

Plot

Child psychologist Catherine Deane (Lopez) is an expert in an experimental treatment for coma patients. Using cutting-edge technology, she literally enters the mind of her patient, where she can meet and communicate with them in dream-like sequences. When the serial killer Carl Rudolph Stargher, played by D'Onofrio, falls into a coma before revealing to police where his last abductee is located, Catherine ventures into his mind to find the answer before it is too late.

Artistic Influences

The scene in which a horse is split into sections was inspired by the works of British artist Damien Hirst, whose works were included in the controversial "Sensation" art exhibition. The film also includes scenes based on the work of other late 20th century artists, including Odd Nerdrum and the Brothers Quay.

The animated sequence that Catherine watches on television near the beginning of the film is from FANTASTIC PLANET, a French animated feature from 1973 which tells the story of humans enslaved as pets by giant blue-skinned aliens.
