Anton Bitel Sight & Sound 02/16/2017
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. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review
Neil Genzlinger New York Times 02/09/2017
A formulaic story of teenagers behaving badly and getting what's coming to them. Go to Full Review

3/5
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. Go to Full Review

It's not a bad teenage-type drama-horror. Go to Full Review

3.5/5
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. Go to Full Review

Derek P. @dpat44 Nov 13 The acting starts off weak but gradually gets better. Story is really well done. Predictable but a fun ride. See more Janet D. @janetrd3873 Oct 21 Contrived? Yes. Derivative? Yes. Predictable? Sure. But still a great watch and very action packed edge of your seat thrill ride. I loved it. See more Horror fan 4 Aug 24 What a great movie. Loved the story and characters. Most of all the ending was fantastic. Tim Treakle See more Will C Mar 28 You know it's a bad sign when halfway through the movie you ask yourself, "Am I supposed to care about these characters?" See more Zy S Jan 5 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. See more Michael P 10/01/2024 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. See more Read all reviews
