My Movie Review: The movie is twisted in a simplistic way too effective and much gore scary!! The Call is a worth watch it will transport you in a trance mode killing never look this fun with time constraint on mind every move the audience will gasp for air cause in an instant it change! Its one of the best horror thrillers I've watched as of last year with the plot that's interesting and original unlike some other time slip stories I've seen you can bet this is going to be a critics hit:) The two leads both excel Park Shin Hye and Jong-seo Jun are very promising actresses their outstanding in this movie to the point you will believe their life are at stake just great acting! Park Shin Hye acting went from one emotion to the other with much ease you'll go the journey with her hoping she'll survive at the end while Jong-seo Jun is just amazing revelation all she did was brutal came to play until sudden death very terrifying & fearless tormenting you to bits!!
Critic Reviews: This unpredictable Korean export juggles more than a few tones and subtexts does it quite craftily. Through effective world-building and acting, The Call creates distinctively chilling and suspenseful vibe that will keep audiences on the edge of their seats until its very last moments. One of the better 2020 genre films from Korea, and one of the few to keep its focus on fun high concept premise rather than getting distracted by last act melodrama. Terrific fun, with plenty of wickedness and gory surprises, all topped off by a captivating turn from Jong-seo Jun, The Call is well worth answering. The Call is a movie that thrives on its effective use of mysterious atmosphere. Director Lee Chung-Hyun makes much clear from earliest scenes, which contrast a modern-day social drama with a past day freak show. Dark, bloody thriller has unexpected twists, violence. The director develops very well a quite original idea as it is to connect two people from two different periods, playing with it in very entertaining way. The movie breaks horror rules but in a innovative way. The acting is what carries the film, the plot twists get muddled at times. Putting logic and realism firmly on hold, The Call spins its audacious premise in hugely effective and entertaining game of time-displaced cat and mouse!
