What to Know

Critics Consensus

Some horror fans and '80s enthusiasts may answer The Call, although a lack of genuine scares and an overload of genre tropes will leave most struggling to maintain the connection.

2/5
A fairly shonky assemblage of tired tropes, full of dropped connections and annoying static. Go to Full Review

The Call is verdant, inventive, sophisticated storytelling that leaves you buzzing... Go to Full Review
Joel Fisher Battle Royale With Cheese Sep 30, 2021
The Call is far more interested in its visuals than telling a coherent and compelling story. Go to Full Review

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

3/5
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. Go to Full Review

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

Suzan L Nov 21, 2020 Soooooo bad. I fought the urge to walk out. Bad horror films are being released during Covid-19 and this was one of them. I was the only one in the theatre. See more Jennifer Oct 25, 2020 It was a satisfying horror movie. Very suspenseful and great affects. The acting was better than most lately also. Could've had a stronger plot with the individual characters' stories, but overall a good movie! See more Jeff Oct 25, 2020 It was okay, couple jump scares. Wasn’t bad though just kinda boring. See more Josh T Oct 19, 2020 Pretty good movie but can very easily tell it was impacted by COVID-19. Kind of predictable storyline but still a good movie with Tobin Bell. See more Erroll Brown Oct 18, 2020 I couldn't catch my movie and you wouldn't refund me my money. That's bad business had a family emergency now I'm out of 20 bucks. Then it's no way to get in contact with anybody if you have a issue that needs resolved See more JE Oct 15, 2020 Could have been better See more Read all reviews
