With an original concept, chilling kills, and stunning performances, The Call is more than worth picking up.

Thrillist

This unpredictable Korean export juggles more than a few tones and subtexts, and does it quite craftily.

One of the better 2020 genre films from Korea, and one of the few to keep its focus on a fun high concept premise rather than getting distracted by last act melodrama

Rated: 4/5

Flickering Myth

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.

This movie kept me entertained the whole time. I loved how it showed how fast a person can change in such a short time and go crazy. Overall this shows that the past should not be messed with and everything happens for a reason. The acting was really good, especially since this is Jeon Joong-Seo's second movie filmed. The emotions of all the actors were shown perfectly. The ending may be confusing to some people especially since I don't usually watch all of the credits.. In conclusion this movie is definitely worth watching.
