The Call

A fairly shonky assemblage of tired tropes, full of dropped connections and annoying static.

The Call is verdant, inventive, sophisticated storytelling that leaves you buzzing...

The Call is far more interested in its visuals than telling a coherent and compelling story.

A curate's egg that, while entertaining in fits and starts, never comes together as a whole.

An entertaining ride for horror fans which benefits from great production design, The Call uses its clichés for a purpose and has fun along the way.

A highly derivative horror movie lifted from utter mediocrity by a couple of veteran genre stars and some eye-catching nightmare sequences.

Although it doesn't quite land, it's worth noting that Stibbs frames the narrative in an intriguing way and creates an inventive premise behind the film's deadly mayhem.

The film has its flaws, but strong performances from a pair of horror icons and a fun premise make this worth picking up.

Apart from some fun outfits, [The Call] takes little inspiration or nostalgia from its '80s setting which is seemingly only there to fit the current trend.

'The Call' falls short in just about every conceivable aspect, wasting talents like Lin Shaye and Tobin Bell on a supremely unfrightful eyesore.
