abstract
  • Carl Rudolph Stargher is the main antagonist of the 2000 psychological sci-fi thriller film, The Cell. He is a serial killer and a kidnapper, he has developed a unique modus operandi for dispatching his victims - namely a fully-automated prison cell. This glass enclosure is designed to gradually fill with water over the course of approximately 40 hours, eventually drowning the captive - whereupon Stargher subjects the corpse to further ritualistic treatments before dumping it for the authorities to find. Much of The Cell's action is prompted by the FBI's search for his 8th and final victim, for though they manage to capture him comparatively early in the film, Stargher has lapsed into a coma and is unable to answer questions - consciously at any rate. He was portrayed by Vincent D'Onofrio who also portrayed Edgar the Bug and Kingpin.
