This film is a whole lot scarier than you think it's going to be.

This is a cleverly made, smartly written, totally satisfying armrest-gripper.

The Call is the kind of vaguely smart, extremely gory gloop you should watch on TV, preferably when you're tucked up in bed with a delirium-inducing fever. That way, you won't notice when the script goes bonkers.

...a perfectly watchable programmer that unfortunately descends into absolute tedium as it progresses...
