This seemed like a low budget Netflix movie with two known actors they hired in order to get more views. Not scary at all. Seemed like a bad teen movie. The ending was terrible.

Don't listen to the previous review it was a decent enough film to keep you entertained I've seen alot worse

There is no back story why the phone works or why the old lady is a ghost or whatever. They could of easily just show us that she was a witch or something. So there is magic phone and the ghost old lady that shows your past somehow and torments and kill you. ok? The best part was probably the new kid didn't do anything or know anything but the old lady killed him too? 1 star for visuals and 1 star for acting.

Had to write a review for this, plz dont waste your time on this, yes the dude from Saw as is the creepy old lady from Insidious but thats just about it. The story sucks, direction is horrible and you will be stuck in meaningless moments which last for 10 minutes. Do yourself a favor and avoid it.

This film isn't too bad. It is not a horror gore fest, and it is more about the story of the characters than anything else. The acting is good, and the production (a la 1980s theme) is well executed. The ending is a bit weak, otherwise it is a reasonable watch.

Don't read the critics reviews! People who write about movies are critics. They are there to look for cinematography, does the story seem true, how could the director have done better, what they should've been filmed, the actors performance, and all that other crap. I am not interested in that; I'm interested in what people, like you and me, have to say about the film. The ones who truly enjoy horror films are the ones that make the best conclusions about whether this is enjoyable to see and if it will scare you. I am one of those people (I'm not a critic) who enjoyed the film completely. It scared me and I thoroughly enjoyed the time I spent watching the entire story play itself in front of me. A dark, sad story reminds of the you of the hateful & spiteful people you always wished & hoped got what they really deserved.

What the heck is Lin Shay and Tobin Bell doing in this mess - Yes you guessed it, to give it that poster appeal to all the Saw and Insidious fans out there and really is shameful exploitation of us the viewers who will pay for this thinking it is going to be of the same level of cinematic excellence! Exceptionally good actors appearing in sub average nonsense like this; it seems they have joined the Ron Perlman, Lance Henriksen, Nik Cage and John Cusack brigade in the let us just take any old rubbish for a paycheque club - very sad! Do not get me wrong the acting for the main part is good and it had a good build up but the denouement and idea just fizzled like a wet, limp little firecracker. I did love the homage to the 80's with the old style John Carpenter'esque analogue synths in keeping with when the movie was supposed to be set and I didnt see a smartphone or tablet anywhere so they got the setting right and the premise had promise, so where did it all go wrong? Well, for a start there is no real horror, zero scares and crucially the idea behind the call was....well just a telephone call to the dead woman that really did not give us an oooh or an ahhh like movies like Saw or Final Destination did and so just followed the sad old tropes of budget bin horror basket movies of yesteryear and so it fails execrably in every way almost. I am not so harsh as to give it a 1/10 as many of the reviewers have as this means it is the worst movie you have ever seen and we have movies like the Bad Batch with Keanu Reeves for that and many others; the acting is good, it is well filmed and professionally made unlike a lot of the shaky cam, dreadful acting Netflix ordure pouring out of film schools these days, so I give this one a harsh but fair, harsh but fair...4/10 hatchets!

Christopher Michael Mitchell (Chester Rushing ) is the new kid in town. The real reason for the move is revealed late. Chris meets Tonya (Erin Sanders ) who he follows around because he is a male and she is not. They also hang out with Zack (Mike Manning) and his side kick brother Brett (Sloane Morgan Siegel ). They believe Edith Cranston (Lin Shaye) was responsible for the death of Tonya's sister a few years ago. They decide to throw stones at her house, again. Chris goes with but does not play. Lin Shaye kills herself and leaves the four kids money. All they have to do is stay on the phone for a minute, a phone at the end of a dimly lit hall. The film takes place in 1987 because cell phones have screwed up the genre. I liked the horror aspect of it. While not unique, it was freshly done and with Lin Shaye. I could not imagine a person more fitting for the role. I need her on my answering machine. Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.

The Call... A group of Four friend receive a call from a widowed husband grouping them in his house where his wife committed suicide after suffering a psychological break down from the actions of those kids in order to give them an offer they can't refuse! What a mess! Seriously where should I being, maybe from the fact that the film is supposedly a homage to the 80s movie in which it has nothing relating to the 80s other than some older phones and a news paper ad! No serious homage feeling what so ever which is very disappointing for all 80s horror fans and though The Call had big horror related names such as Lin Shaye and Tobin Bell, sadly it never focus on the talent of both names. It rely mainly on just like any casual B movie to draw the fans. A chance of a talent misplaced and horribly unused. The plot is very limited and the screenplay is near to ridiculous, shallow on every level, every single character is written in a two-dimensional in which the events and their destiny unfolds in a silly pointless typical manner. To sum, The Call is a waste of both talent and time, not worth checking out unless you really want to be bored for an hour and a half.
