Is it that they are just common? If we notice new horror movies have stopped using cell phones because now the story would be obsolete.
And the ones that do, its always the killer calling, or your "fate" calling, do you think that's is just a reflection of how we are interacting nowadays with one another? Like there is a theme among these movies with mobile phones and its the fear of the killer always knowing your constant location, or knowing where to find you, theres also the idea that these characters lose their power and become subjects to the killer because they have power over them.
So do these reflect values that we have adopted as our own? Of losing your independence and become dependent of it? Of constant communication? Of lack of privacy?
