A pregnant woman receives a phone call that changes everything—and threatens both her and her unborn child’s lives. Yelena is joyfully expecting her first child, only 37 days to go, then she answers an unknown call. On the other end of the line, a chilling voice delivers an impossible ultimatum: obey his gruesome demands or watch her unborn baby die. At first, she questions whether the caller is real or a figment of her unravelling mind, but the eerie, supernatural proof he provides leaves no doubt -- he has power over her in ways she cannot comprehend. Forced into a brutal game of cat and mouse, Yelena, unprepared for violence but desperate to protect her child, must navigate a bloody odyssey of murder, chaos, and fear. As the body count rises, so do the stakes, and with every step, she is drawn deeper into a nightmare where survival means becoming something monstrous herself.

Zachary Lee IndieWire It’s off-putting and not exactly pleasant viewing, but there’s some apt appeal in its refusal for easy agreeability. Rated: B- Sep 13, 2025 Full Review Joshua Polanski Rue Morgue Magazine [Aleksandar] Radivojević has quickly established himself as one of the world’s most obscene filmmakers. If this appeals to you, you already know who you are. Everyone else should stay clear. Sep 27, 2025 Full Review Joe Lipsett Bloody Disgusting Karmadonna is maximalist in its approach. There are plenty of sequences that are great fun, but as the film inches towards the two hour mark and Radivojević reiterates his point (several times over), the film simply overstays its welcome. Rated: 3.5/5 Sep 17, 2025 Full Review Alex Papaioannou Next Best Picture So much of its runtime is devoted to the same incessant anger thrown at the state of everything in our culture. Yet it all feels more akin to a man shouting at the clouds than any sort of incisive observation or commentary. Rated: 2/10 Sep 16, 2025 Full Review Christopher Cross Asynchronous Media Radivojević’s maximalist holy crusade is a silly rampage of extreme finger-pointing that is painfully boring in execution. Rated: 1.5/5 Sep 16, 2025 Full Review Joonatan Itkonen Toisto.net This is a film that would be a chore to watch even as a short film, let alone as something pushing the two-hour mark. Rated: 1/5 Sep 12, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
