Critics Consensus

Some horror fans and '80s enthusiasts may answer The Call, although a lack of genuine scares and an overload of genre tropes will leave most struggling to maintain the connection.

Leslie Felperin

Guardian

A fairly shonky assemblage of tired tropes, full of dropped connections and annoying static.

Rated: 2/5

The Call is verdant, inventive, sophisticated storytelling that leaves you buzzing...

Battle Royale With Cheese

The Call is far more interested in its visuals than telling a coherent and compelling story.

Grant Watson

Fiction Machine

A curate's egg that, while entertaining in fits and starts, never comes together as a whole.

Rated: 6/10

Eye for Film

An entertaining ride for horror fans which benefits from great production design, The Call uses its clichés for a purpose and has fun along the way.

Rated: 3/5

One Guy's Opinion

A highly derivative horror movie lifted from utter mediocrity by a couple of veteran genre stars and some eye-catching nightmare sequences.

Rated: C

Soooooo bad. I fought the urge to walk out. Bad horror films are being released during Covid-19 and this was one of them. I was the only one in the theatre.

It was a satisfying horror movie. Very suspenseful and great affects. The acting was better than most lately also. Could've had a stronger plot with the individual characters' stories, but overall a good movie!

Pretty good movie but can very easily tell it was impacted by COVID-19. Kind of predictable storyline but still a good movie with Tobin Bell.

I couldn't catch my movie and you wouldn't refund me my money. That's bad business had a family emergency now I'm out of 20 bucks. Then it's no way to get in contact with anybody if you have a issue that needs resolved
