Dwight Brown National Newspaper Publishers Association This film is a whole lot scarier than you think it's going to be. Rated: 3/4 Mar 7, 2017 Full Review Wesley Morris Grantland This is a cleverly made, smartly written, totally satisfying armrest-gripper. Jan 6, 2014 Full Review Charlotte O'Sullivan London Evening Standard The Call is the kind of vaguely smart, extremely gory gloop you should watch on 온라인카지노추천, preferably when you're tucked up in bed with a delirium-inducing fever. That way, you won't notice when the script goes bonkers. Rated: 3/5 Sep 20, 2013 Full Review Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies There is just enough tension and just enough suspense to keep you invested. Unfortunately the eye-rolling ending almost undoes everything the film does right. Rated: 3/5 Aug 19, 2022 Full Review Jason Adams My New Plaid Pants Perfectly ridiculously enjoyable Jul 2, 2021 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins An absorbing premise that goes to great efforts to exaggerate the suspense; unfortunately, the storytellers run out of ideas approximately three-quarters into the film. Rated: 4/10 Dec 3, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Megan J I love this movie so much!! Great acting, great cast, suspenseful, attention grabbing, detailed, creative, I just love it!! One of my favorites! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/05/25 Full Review Jen L So dumb. Cliche. No original plot. The French fry eating was so dumb. This is why ppl are flocking to kdramas. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/20/24 Full Review Kim C Fantastic movie and incredible acting by all. So realistic and put you on the edge of your seat. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/18/24 Full Review Liane C This is a very intense, suspenseful, edge of your seat thriller.I loved Halle Barry's character in this movie.I had no idea she was much of an actress.I thought she was mainly just famous for her looks.I haven't seen her in many movies.I had this recorded on my DVR for many months because the movie description sounded interesting.But I thought if Halle Barry starred in it that it wouldn't be very good.Boy was I wrong! The kidnapper in the movie is a complete wack job.A total lunatic,similar to Buffalo Bill in the Silence Of The Lambs.The movie gets way crazier than I expected! I recommend this! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/29/23 Full Review Emilliano Jr S An ok thriller but not recomended. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/21/23 Full Review Chris M Too many plot holes to count. The car scene was a highlight. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/13/23 Full Review Read all reviews
