I definitely agree to a point there ^ lol. I think it makes sense if the killer is a few feet from you, because standing up slows you down.

So hello from the other side
I must've called a thousand times
To tell you I'm sorry, for everything that I've done
But when I call you never seem to be home

In so many films there is a scene right in the middle where one of the characters magically figured out exactly what is going on. This happens in Predators, for example. I hate when movies do that.

Somehow people think it's a plothole and constantly complain about it O_O
Screw those people. i'd rather horror exist in alternate universes where cells weren't invented than no place on Earth having a reception.

LOL! I also agree with that! :P
And, SERIOUSLY, most of these no-cell-reception spots are in the middle of nowhere. I'm sorry... but a Wrong Turn movie could EASILY feature cellphone service and the movie would still function fine. It's not like the police show up in 2 seconds!
Oh, and I just must reiterate my hatred for generic and stereotypical goody-good leads.
Worse, though, are leads who get everyone killed *GLARES at TCM's Erin and Venom's Eden*

If they are going to do something they should at least have the cell phone go out of battery instead of no service. Since basically every area has phone service now.

Ehh... it's pretty realistic to have NO.Terrible cell service in some areas. Like in THHE remake, I can buy it there. (Middle of nowhere off an interstate)
ESPECIALLY if horror victims have AT&T lol
