‘Cellphone’ Exclusive Clip – Malcolm McDowell Interrupts Eerie Visions in Tech Thriller

Cellphone clip

Gravitas Ventures’ latest, Cellphone, highlights the perils and horror of technology surrounding the piece of tech we rely on most: our phones. An exclusive clip takes it a step further, with strange phenomena taking place in broad daylight.

Check out the exclusive clip below, which sees Malcolm McDowell (A Clockwork Orange, 2007’s Halloween, She Will) interrupt supernatural activity with a phone call.

In Cellphone, “Wynne, who is grieving the death of her fiancé, starts seeing disturbing images on her cell phone about her future. If she doesn’t figure them out in time, she will die.”

Gravitas Ventures releases Cellphone on VOD and Digital on February 13, 2024.

Whitney Rose Pynn, Justin Malik Jackson, Jared Noble, Isaac Versaw, and Katherine Barber star alongside Malcolm McDowell in the tech thriller.

The tech thriller was written by Rachel Sommer and directed by Luke Sommer, based on their 2012 short film “Cell Phone.” Cellphone marks the feature debut for both.

In the short film that inspired the film, “friends Farren and Wynne go on a hike. They come across a very peculiar cellphone. It’s stuck in camera mode. However, they can’t view what’s currently in front of them, but rather can only see what appears to be disturbing images from their future. Carefree and adventurous Farren wants to get to the bottom of this, while cautious Wynne would rather leave the cellphone and get out of there. As the girls explore further, the images get more horrific and even become a matter of life and death.”

Rachel Sommer, Matt Sommer, and Luke Sommer produce alongside Jan Sommer.
