Phoners
Phoners are people turned into violent killers by a signal carried on mobile phones in Stephen King's 2006 novel. They move from attacking everyone in sight to flocking and acting as a single telepathic mind. The novel follows an artist searching for his young son after the signal hits Boston.1

Waxa ilaha yidhaahdaan
At first they attack anyone in sight1
Later they gather in flocks, for example on a football pitch, and switch off together overnight1
A flock behaves as a single mind and develops psychic powers, including the power to compel people to kill themselves1
A character theorises that later phoners received a corrupted version of the signal, like a computer worm1
Filmed in 2016 with John Cusack and Samuel L. Jackson; King rewrote the ending for the screenplay1
