Even if the game-playing manipulation of 'Mr Lee' seems familiar from many other films, it is presented with real craft - and the moral commentary on the disconnect between online activity and real-world repercussion is very much of the now.

The killer seems to have a master switch to every single electronic device in the hapless pranksters' house. It's tough to take the film seriously when the unknown assailant has CIA powers of surveillance.

Rated: D-

New York Times

A formulaic story of teenagers behaving badly and getting what's coming to them.

Radio Times

There are familiar shades of Scream and Phone Booth in the feature debut of co-directors Alexis Wajsbrot and Damien Mace, but they also bring roving-camera flair and energy to the claustrophobic tension.

Rated: 3/5

It's not a bad teenage-type drama-horror.

Don't Hang Up is a total B-movie and the characters are barely likable. What I will say is that its pacing and suspense was there for me.

Rated: 3.5/5

You know it's a bad sign when halfway through the movie you ask yourself, "Am I supposed to care about these characters?"

This movie really struggled with its realism meter. I couldn't tell if this movie wanted to make the antagonist paranormal or not. There's no real basis for this movie have a paranormal antagonist, yet the screenwriting pretty much gave him paranormal level of powers. Whoever developed the plot needs to work within the limitations of their own universe. The acting was pretty good and had nothing but good looking people, which I appreciated a lot about the film and made it much easier to watch. I think the original prank call from this movie needed some polishing.

This movie was absolutely a tourture watch. I don't see how the 33 rating is here. It had all the movie sins. Like this movie, don't hang it up, it needs a tumble dry.

Absolutely awful. Doesn't even deserve 33%. Irritating tone throughout the first half, completely unoriginal, poor story, poor direction, overall bad execution of a completely tired plot and idiotic premise.
