LonelyGirl Steps in a Puddle of Horror

The webs are abuzz (here, here) with news that the original LonelyGirl15, Jessica Lee Rose, is set to star in her next web series, Blood Cell:

“3:30am (Los Angeles): Julia is jolted awake by the howl of her cellphone; a video message from her best friend, Susan. Her eyes are swollen from crying. Her upper lip shows a painful cut. And she’s scared to death. “I’ve been kidnapped… you can’t call the police… and don’t turn off your cell phone. He’ll kill me if you do…” Susan screams and the message cuts out. Confused, Julia receives a text message from the kidnapper: “Dead Cell = Dead Friend.” A peaceful night turns into a race against time. Using her cellphone as her only lifeline, Julia must rescue her friend and avoid succumbing to a similarly gruesome fate.”

I’ll go ahead and let you decide which recent crappy Hollywood film this sounds like.  I’m glad to see webisodics push into the genre world and this certainly looks to do that but it is a little disheatening that they couldn’t come up with a more original setup.

Here’s the trailer.  See if you can guess the main selling point:
