The Caller

The execution is average, but the way the protagonist is terrorised, I loved it. I was expecting only some kind of normal horror story, so the nature of the evil in this low-key movie was quite a surprise – a truly original idea, at least I can’t remember any film using it… The idea that I would be going through the same shit as the heroine, and would be equally powerless as her, really affected me and the film’s most intense moments made me forget all about the unoriginal direction and the holes in the script. I even considered giving it four stars, but then came the last scene, which can be justified in view of the previous events, but it’s unnecessarily pointless and ruins the resulting impression.
