Any movie where 1 cell phone would resolve the situation. A lot of serial camper killers would get shut down pretty fast.

Just put the camp outside of cell service. Plenty of camping in the mountains outside of cell service.

That's not at all common yet though, it's pretty much a gimmick in a few select phones.

Pfft, that's a fad that will never catch on. Just like that internet thingy.

Not just cellphones but every house now is equipped with a camera on the doorbell and possibly several more throughout the house. Back in the day serial killers basically just had to not be around when the police showed up and had a pretty good chance of just getting away

scribbling notes
- don't be there when police arrive
- also steal the cameras and tech

Also disable the Internet beforehand so that the cameras don't upload stuff to cloud storage.

Introduce a character that's a teacher so sick of cellphones in their class they bought a jammer off the internet. Make that character the serial killer's first victim.
