1st half of the film went like "me and the bestie" and the 2nd half was like "can't stand her fake ass!"

South Korea raised the bar so high last year with Parasite that they decided to release mediocre films only this year to balance it out with #Alive, Peninsula and The Call.
Review by allain ★★★½ 3

Never answer a phone call from a number you don’t recognize, as it can carry heavy consequences for your future, and this can be heavily seen in The Call–a horror-mystery thriller about how two people in completely different timelines made contact using a single telephone that connects them both. A single question is posed throughout the film: what if a simple act of kindness backfires to you and your future?
There’s something about Korean thrillers that exhilarates all of my senses, and this film is no different, as it laid down its characters and flipped them midway, producing an expected, yet still suprising twist and ending that made me gasp in shock. The lesson here is very simple: don’t attempt…

i hope it ended before it ended
Review by Nakul ★★★½ 3

THE CALL is an exciting, creepy and emotionally compelling sci-fi slasher thriller, which had me at the edge of my seat for the most part. Tho it feels like a movie that needed few more drafts to iron out structure and logic issues, still a pretty solid effort considering it was Lee Chung-hyun's feature directorial debut. The performances by both leads is what carries the film. Also loved the color palette.

i didn't like this movie too many bad things happened and i simply hate evil people (even if they're hot)
Review by Akshay ★★★½

Korean thrillers are the best.
This one has its backdrops, here and there.
But the ending is something I will register in my head for a long time.
The cinematography,the beautiful landscapes and the background score are a huge plus for this one.
Jeon Jong seo's acting is so badass, I was kinda rooting for her character, ya I know she's the psychopath killer. But they made her look so cool.
Review by yorachel ★★★½

can't relate because i never answer our landline anyway
Review by nuviii ★★★★½

Senaryosu aşırı iyiydi.. Göl evi filmindeki zaman oyunu burada da vardı.. Arada 20 yıl olmasına rağmen aynı evde yaşayan iki farklı kişi.. Birbirleriyle tanıştıktan sonra birbirlerinin hayatlarına ciddi anlamda etki ediyorlar.. Göl evini izlerken bekleyip de bulamadığım heyecanı bu filmde bulmuş gibi oldum.. Gerilimi zevk verdi cidden..Tunahan reyiz in insta öne çıkanlarından seçip izledim pişman olmadım.. İyi ki varsın Tunahan Reyiz :)

Review by Fifi ★★½

There is no explanation why its happened. I just dont get it why.. N yeah the ending is pretty annoying too
Review by RamboAlien ★★★★

„The Call“ is a really well-made sci-fi/Horror Thriller with 2 excellent performances at the center of it. It’s gripping from the beginning until the end.
That being said the sequel bait at the end was so unnecessary and actively hurt the film’s perfect ending.
8/10
Review by zammydraws ★★★★
